Is it a bribe for their votes?
Trump has signed a Executive Order….it is easier than going through Congress…..to help seniors with their ever expanding drug prices……but will it truly help or just a blatant attempt to bribe the seniors for their vote?
Consumer advocacy group Public Citizen on Thursday accused President Donald Trump of a “transparent and pathetic attempt to bribe” seniors for their votes after Trump vowed to send $200 prescription drug discount cards to more than 30 million Medicare recipients just weeks ahead of the November election.
Robert Weissman, president of Public Citizen, called Trump’s highly dubious promise “bizarre” and said that “seniors and all Americans don’t need Trump cards, they need real solutions to rip-off drug prices,” which have continued to soar during Trump’s presidency despite his repeated vows to lower them.
“The solution to outlandishly high pharmaceutical prices is not to give people money to offset extortionate drug prices; the solution is to end price gouging altogether,” Weissman said in a statement.
“Seniors and all Americans don’t need Trump cards, they need real solutions to rip-off drug prices.”

I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
I’d say “desperation,” but I’m not sure Dump knows how to spell it.
Probably not…..but he is a “really smart person” and a “stable genius”……chuq
I’m gonna read that book this coming week (trying to read the Dump books chronologically so I keep the facts straight as I can). It’s getting worse the further we get in the books. Shuddering to think what “Rage” has in it now.
Let me know what you think…..chuq
I saw him saying that he will alow drug purchases from Canada, to bring down costs. I don’t believe him though.
Best wishes, Pete.
Me either…..just an attempt to buy votes. chuq
If it costs money, it has to be approved by the House. Executive order be damned!
I agree and under real leadership that is what it would be but we have a tool in the White House. chuq
Puhlease!🙄
Just another game played with lives by Donald the Orange. chuq
it’s his version of dangling car keys in front of a baby to distract it. And I’m sure it’ll still work. Ugh.
True….do not trust “Greek bearing gifts” sort of thing chuq
