you're welcome :facepalm:
It can be fixed, but it requires the assistance of the same generation that gives mine a hard time regarding entitlement. Meanwhile, they draw from a program that I am help pay for while leaving nothing for us when we get there.

Yeah, wife and I just got a letter from the SSA stating we are getting a increase in our benefits due to increase in the cost of living.
Oh, wait. Just looked at what we were getting and it's the same. All of the increase went to Medicare premiums. Darn.
Yeah, the government will make sure that you can afford to buy an epipen. Big Pharma making sure that they are not reducing their prices an or giving out freebies to the low income patients. And that is why that they are raising the minimum wage, so that everyone is able to buy the corporation's products. And so no more free hand-out. Monsanto is losing money in one area, but they make up the differences from their other products. Luckily they has merged with Bayer and Pziers. Or else, they will be out of business.


Rising cost of potentially life-saving EpiPen puts pinch on families

You strike me as a bit anti-social, Esmith.

Whatever happened to the family values and Christian values that conservatives are always harping on?

I am not a Christian in a religious sense.
Yeh I'm a little bit anti-social in certain aspect and quite social in others. Depends on the "social setting".
As far as family values go yes I respect them and wish more of the country would adhere to them.

So you wouldn't throw granny out on the street just because she was no longer productive, nor would you give your son a stone if he asked for bread. Expand this to the whole society, rather than just your own family or community, and you have liberal "socialism."

First I don't have a son or daughter that I know of and one can support ones community, State, and Country without advocating everything you progressive/liberals expound.
Ever think about it that way?
Of course not...or you wouldn't express the ideas that you now do.

What are we progressives/liberals advocating that you take issue with?

That's not an answer. No examples, nothing. RW media has trained you well. They don't give examples either.
Well tell you what. You list what your liberal/progressive ideals are and I'll tell you if I agree or disagree with them. How's that. In other words I do not have the desire or time to list every policy that the liberal/progressives are touting that I disagree with. But you have probably read the majority of my post on various subjects so you know where I stand. Good enough for you?

Nonsense, you simply don't know and dislike the platform on principle.
