Dems Will Win Big in 08

This was the talk of the town today-- The Bush administration says that beef from Canada, Australia, Japan and NZ is safe to import- virtually uninspected by any US inspectors- but the drugs of these same countries are not (even tho many are manufactured by the same companies that are sold in the US) :roll:

If that doesn't show you who controls D.C. I don't know what does.....

If this pattern keeps up- Dems will win big time in 08.....


Senate Blocks Bid to Allow Prescription Drug Imports
Monday, May 07, 2007

WASHINGTON — The Senate effectively killed a bid to allow consumers to buy their prescription medicines abroad Monday, requiring U.S. officials to certify the safety and effectiveness of such drugs.

The certification amendment, passed on a 49-40 vote, would require health officials to do something they have long said they cannot.

Because of that, the vote undercut a second measure that would permit prescription drug imports from Food and Drug Administration-approved sources in Canada, Australia, Europe, Japan and New Zealand.

Overseas, drugs can cost two-thirds less than they do in the United States, where prices for brand-name drugs are among the highest in the world.

The Bush administration opposes allowing imports of prescription drugs, and the White House had threatened a veto.

The pharmaceutical industry vehemently opposes allowing drug imports, arguing that they could leave the nation vulnerable to dangerous counterfeits.

The same goes for our BEEF.
It's protectionism whether it's between countries or inside a country.

The only problem is in the connection with BSE and vCJD--vCJD has a dormant period of 10-40 years before it manifests itself, so it may be many years before we know if we will be burying people- or what really is safe.... :roll:

The drugs we're talking about are mostly all made in the same pharmaceutical plants (many out of country) by the same corporate interests that are then marketing them in the US as US product at a greatly inflated price...

Definitely Protectionism..... Protectionism of the Big Pharmaceutical companies inflated profits...

Another free trade- NAFTA farce....We're supposed to trust CFIA beef inspectors-- but GW and his boys say we can't trust those crooked Canuck drug inspectors.... :roll: :wink: :lol:

Yes, I guess it would since it would seem that OUR government doesn't give a rat's patooty about the people in this country!!
