More GOP Brain Damage

Quote:
NEW YORK (AP) — Rudolph Giuliani, promoting Donald Trump's national security plan, said Monday that in the "eight years before (President Barack) Obama came along, we didn't have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States." That's an apparent omission of the largest terror attack in United States history.

Giuliani was mayor of New York City on Sept. 11, 2001 and in the hours after the World Trade Center fell, while then-President George W. Bush was largely unseen, he became the face of American grief and determination. His brave and graceful performance in the weeks after the towers' collapse earned him the nickname "America's mayor" and he was soon launched into national political stardom, his name synonymous with the response to the attacks. That made his comments Monday all the more puzzling. https://www.yahoo.com/news/giuliani-...on.html?ref=gs
That's even better than the 2006 Obama-phone program.

Yeah, I wasn't aware until the other day that part of Medicare Pt D was along with paying corrupt corporations to do the government's work, it also included a no drug price haggling on the part of the government clause.
Ship dits!

Republican political corruption at its finest.

(Billy)Tauzin resigned from Congress in Feb 2004. In Jan 2005, the day after his term in Congress ended he began work as the head of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA. [2] a powerful trade group for pharmaceutical companies. Tauzin was hired at a salary outsiders estimated at $2 million a year. Five years later he announced his retirement from the association (as of the end of June 2010).[3]

Two months before resigning as chair of the committee which oversees the drug industry, Tauzin had played a key role in shepherding through Congress the Medicare Prescription Drug Bill. Democrats said that the bill was "a give-away to the drugmakers" because it prohibited the government from negotiating lower drug prices and bans the importation of identical, cheaper, drugs from Canada and elsewhere. The Veterans Affairs agency, which can negotiate drug prices, pays much less than Medicare. The bill was passed in an unusual congressional session at 3 a.m. under heavy pressure from the drug companies.[4]

As head of PhRMA, Tauzin was a key player in 2009 health care reform negotiations that produced pharmaceutical industry support for White House and Senate efforts.[5]

Tauzin received $11.6 million from PhRMA in 2010, making him the highest-paid health-law lobbyist.[6] Tauzin now is on the Board of Directors at Louisiana Healthcare Group.
