The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What? Uh, Dr. Oz explains how this is going to 'work'.

Margaret Brennan (on Face the Nation): “the president put this 25% tariff on India. big drug producer. the president’s trade deal with the EU puts a 15% tariff on imported medicines. how do you stop the drugmakers from passing along those costs to people on Medicare and Medicaid?”

Dr. Oz: “well the president’s letter on Thursday for most favored nation pricing is a good example of that … the president’s saying, equalize it out. let’s use a model that’s worked for external threats. that’s what NATO did. everyone has to pay a little more, we’ll pay extra, too — but we won’t pay a lot more than anybody else. so they actually have to raise their pri— to cut contributions, in this case for internal threats, which is illness. we’ll pay a little less than America, that way more Americans can afford these medications.”


Makes sense...right?

No administration in US history has ever spread so much bull manure over the citizens of this country.
