Treatment trials for thousands of ill, including kids, halted due to USAID shutdown

Give a shit? No. But I'm also not the one trying to knight for why their dirty laundry shouldn't be looked at.


You guys are going to have to pick a side of the fence. Are politicians assholes or not? Or is it just the Republicans that are assholes?
Crazy how hard they simp for politicians that are blatantly laundering money.

The flailing and wailing ITT is peak insane left HBOTing.
 
I like how you can so easily blame Trump because he stopped this program or any other program while they investigate it. Shouldn’t you be just as upset with previous leaders for allowing money to be wasted on useless programs causing this temporary shutdown? In my mind, you should be more upset at the people that cheated the system and tax payers. Not the people trying to fix the problem. I would guess you’re the type of person that puts a ton of bandaids on something instead of fixing the problem.
I honestly don't know enough to figure out what and how much the cuts will be impactful. I just will get upset if that money isn't going back into programs like Medicare and Medicaid, and a host of other programs that could help the taxpayers instead of putting more burden on the taxpayer.
 
Quick Google search shows multiple that cost at least that much.
I only asked because my family all have bad allergies, and for a while have "prescriptions" for like Zyrtec such, all which have generics and we pay very little- and I don't have "gold standard" level healthcare.

I googled before I quoted, and those were the main ones I saw, I couldn't find any costing that much- maybe my phrasing sucked. Maybe its a really specific allergy that doesn't have a generic? I'd be asking my Doctor questions, that's all. Not being contentious, was just curious.

All good! It might have something to do with his heart as well - a specific thing like you said. They attributed at least part of it to his black lab but he also was recently having problems with his heart valve transplant. This is one of those things where my wife was talking to me the second I got in the door and my brain wasn't ready to fully absorb 100% of what she was saying to me! I caught the $1000 part because I asked how he was going to pay for that.

Or the 30 people that will die in america tonight due to food/shelter issues.
And I have heard zero of any plan or idea of a plan that addresses poverty issues in America. Not infrastructure or job creation opportunities, in fact quite the opposite try to gut the Biden Chips and infrastructure bills.

Chips can't be overstated enough that for national security reason we need to bring that type of mfg back to the states.

Don't you hate it when they do that? That is probably something we can all agree on. My business associate does the same thing when I get to the office. Chases me around while I am trying to put my lunch away, get coffee, etc... It's like GIVE ME A SECOND!!!

My favorite is when I CALL HER on the phone. She answers and immediately starts telling me something. I called YOU...to tell/ask you something!
