Election ’16: At a rally in New Hampshire over the weekend, Donald Trump spent a good deal of time complaining about how much the government spends on drugs. Too bad his math, and his facts, were all wrong.

In his victory speech, Bernie said New Hampsher ... instead of New Hampshah
As a native Bostonian, I am acutely attuned to the Boston-like accent of Bernie and THAT was a surprize to me
OK ... sorry to highjack the thread
carry on
“...What’s more, Part D’s reliance on market competition has kept both taxpayer costs and premiums well below projections, and the expanded access to drugs has saved Medicare money by keeping seniors healthier. Trump’s plan would destroy this highly successful program.
Phony numbers aside, what’s most troubling is that Trump’s proposal is word for word out the Democrats’ playbook....

Thanks for posting, this was a very interesting and informative article.
Tag line.
BUMP to your post!

They are going to kill the golden goose.
Trumpsters never let facts get in the way of their hero worship. When you are talking about a cult of personality, people of ordinarily sound mind will allow themselves to be duped.
