Things Are Going So Great Under Biden

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

It used to be under $4 before Obama.

Now it isn't.

 

[Meister]

SO?

The thing you have to remember , is it didn't.
Trump never had an infrastructure plan, just a campaign slogan to fool his gullible cult.

But Trump seemed to think so.
After all, he had a plan.

Already did.

Big Pharma won't be hurt from this at all, although it allows the government to
pick the winners and losers, and probably inhibit some R&D of some medicines.
We the People will be paying for it. But good for the old folk.
Just more and more power to the government.
I'm glad you have no issue with the government being the biggest employer under Biden.
It shows me that you have limited ability to understand WHY it's an issue.
I know, I know, the government pays their wages and not you, right?

I know, that is the issue with the US government, not like every other country.
Are you happy paying R&D for the rest of the "Socialized" WORLD?

As opposed to the power of companies?

I'm glad you have no issue with the government being the biggest employer under Biden.

Been that way for decades.
Now you're bitching?

It shows me that you have limited ability to understand WHY it's an issue.

A limited government allows people to commit crimes and cheat common people, also to NOT address their issues.

I know, I know, the government pays their wages and not you, right?

I pay taxes.

Let’s start in 21.
Accept responsibility for opening the border?
Afghanistan withdrawal?
Inflation?
Debt?
Declare war on oil causing energy to skyrocket?
Repeal the travel ban from Muslim nations?
Repeatedly stating the clot shot prevents infection and spreading?
Funding terrorists in Iran and Gaza?

Yes after 4 years of racist policy banning any asylum seekers from the southern border, Biden has allowed asylum seekers to come in and 80% of them are approved. The Afghanistan withdrawal was exactly the same as it would have been under Trump, the place was ready to fold as soon as we left. Stupidest war ever in our history, except for the Iraq War. How's Reagan's pal Saddam doing? Your policies are a disaster and always have been, except for the rich....

 

[francoHFW]

You could have just posted that Biden and the left don't want to take responsibility for anything. It would have been a lot less words for you to type.

We have handled Putin's economic crisis just fine and have no responsibility except for that.

Oh....I didn't know I was conversing with a socialist/communist.
Have problems with private companies, huh? Just let the government handle it?


Enjoy your day, smoke.

 

[The Duke]

I asked a question based upon the long history here. The Economy tanked in the last year of Trump’s administration. Whenever we mention this fact, we are told it isn’t Trump’s fault. It was COVID, Governors, Businesses, and all of that. It was everybody but Trump.

On day one, everyone who says that sort of thing, started blaming Biden. So my question is how long before Trump owns the economy if he is elected again? A year? Two? Or is it never going to be his fault?

18 mos to 2 years should be long enough to start turning things around some.

Economies move kinda slow I've noticed. Some things Reagan did didn't really have proper effect until Clinton.

H.W. Bush did nothing good for the US economy. Neither did his son or Obama, and Clinton didn't have to sign NAFTA.

 

[The Duke]

But we would never go to that shitty place. I guess we will soon them them going out of business if what you say is true

Many restaurants will go out of business as Americans today only have 25% of the disposable income they

have had historically. That means forever up until around Bush days or so.

The economy will contract massively. There's no way it won't.

more wishful thinking

I wish it wasn't like that, but it is.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

A limited government allows people to commit crimes and cheat common people, also to NOT address their issues.

At this point, we have government itself doing that to us, to a greater degree than it is preventing us from doing it to one another.

If there is any teabaggers left, ask them. I'm just showing the facts.

Ask Obama.....he knows who the teabaggers are.

Walmart sells a basic Insulin for $25 a 1000-unit vial, without a prescription.

[Harpy Eagle]

Walmart sells a basic Insulin for $25 a 1000-unit vial, without a prescription.

As the father of a Type 1 diabetic I can tell you that not all insulin is created the same.

 

[Smokin' OP]

Walmart sells a basic Insulin for $25 a 1000-unit vial, without a prescription.

No they don't, you need a prescription.

Walmart recently announced that it will begin selling its own private brand, rapid-acting, analog insulin called ReliOn NovoLog. The new insulin became available in Walmart pharmacies at the beginning of July and is expected to also be available in Sam’s Club stores in mid-July. Customers will need a prescription to purchase this insulin.

A 1000 unit vial will run $73.00.

ReliOn NovoLog’s most important attribute is its price. It will be available in two different forms: either $72.88 per vial (10 mL each, or 1,000 units) or $85.88 for a package of five prefilled insulin pens (FlexPens, each with 3 mL, or 300 units). For people who don’t have health plans with prescription drug coverage and must pay for insulin out-of-pocket, Walmart’s offering could help them save 60% to 75% of the cash price of comparable analog insulins – that amounts to savings of around $101 per vial or $251 per package of FlexPens.
