And saddled us with a Medicare prescription drug plan that is so complex, the people it's intended for can't understand it, and with as many holes in it that it leaks like a sieve. And then didn't have the guts to put anything in so drug prices could be negotiated down. Gee, they might have risked losing all the pharmaceutical money that comes into their campaign chests. For the lack of negotiation part, I blame the Dems, too. They're all too much in the pockets of drug companies.
We really ought to outlaw campaign contributions, period. Each candidate is allowed X dollars and that's it. And no outside agencies running ads. Unfortunately, to fix this system, we'd have to scrap the whole damn thing and start over. On another planet.
