Part of this bill is giving these companies money to develop a vaccine. Then we should allow price gouging us for the vaccine we paid for?

Don’t be mad that your own party conspired against Generalismo Sanders again and shat the bed in another election.

GawdDAMN look at that turkey gobbler neck.

How else are they going to maximize profit when they know who is supplying it before anyone else knows? Maximize profits at expense of all.

Still can't get an erection. God, now I've got that horrible image in my brain.

I laughed out loud at work ?
sevenfingerman
Ahhh, price gouging.
Marrok89
I'm gonna go ahead and not take this at face value. Probably something else piggy backing into the bill.

To be fair, I'm Republican, but I still think that's retarded so. But I'd rather all current politicians die from Corona virus

Aren't they ancient dinos, so prolly covid-19 would do nice refreshing cleanup.

Mitch: He doesn't work for ...people...

He doesn't work at all. He's on autopilot and the response switch is locked in the 'No' position.

What good is a crisis if you can't exploit it for money?

I think it was Rahm Emanuel who said, "Never let a serious crisis go to waste." Nice to see both sides were listening...

All politicians are for themselves, not you.

Dems want people to have a vaccine. Republicans want only the rich to have it. You are a fucking idiot for thinking that both are the same

You’re an idiot that thanks Career politicians are different.

It looks more like they don't want to hand off a blank check since no know actually know the cost of any vaccine is or supplies.

While I agree this party vs party bs is toxic, I have more concerns about Republicans than I do Democrats.
Alenelvans
What if it’s just one party blocking the bill? Wouldn’t that suggest maybe that party sucked more than the other?
DrForester
Nonsense. There is no difference between a party that wants everyone to have access to healthcare, and one that wants only the rich to!
DreadCarcass
The one party vs the other an us vs them divides the country. Thats the only thing i dont like
glaug
I do not want compromise and unity with flag-stomping traitors. Republicans are enemies of the United States, not dialogue partners.
DreadCarcass
My grandfather is Republican and would help everyone in need. Right up til you insult him over politics
warmNchewey
That sounds like a person who is really petty and nobody cares. If you can't see that what Republicans are doing is shitty...you're dumb.
DoctorDanielJackson
Maybe have your grandfather speak to McConnell, because McConnell does not wish to help people, and he happens to be a Republican.
tcapp890
Greedy politicians being greedy politicians. EVERY politician in Washington is crooked and looking out for their wallets first. Both sides.

Hey. Do me a favor. Go on amazon and buy a HUGE jar of lube. HUGE. Then use all of it to pull your head out of your ass. Use all of it...

Climate Change. Health Care. Social Sec. A few issues Repub and Dem are polar opposite on. But you go ahead and believe they are the same.

I guess I’ll be the lone dissenter here on imgur. Sad to see the groupthink go so far. Let companies compete and charge what the want
Damiv
Except the companies don’t compete. They make agreements with each other to murder for the sake of increasing profit. Look at ISPs.

And this is why my asthma inhaler is $275 per canister.

Why’s mine $15?

When the government starts setting prices, they start picking winners and losers. I don’t want bureaucrats doing anything more than

Protecting consumers.

Regulating how much someone can charge you is protecting consumers so some asshole cant charge you 1000 bucks for a 1$ bag of water. oh wait

Keep what up? The propaganda campaign?

The issue isn't if they aren't doing something. It's if it benefits companies MORE than people.

Thanks you for your time! (also, who is downvoting this whole thread?)
DrForester
Passes the House of Representatives. Maybe you should take a civics class and learn that there are TWO houses of congress.
ThankYouForYourTime
Chuck Schumer (D), the Senate Minority leader, expects the bill to pass the Senate.
ThankYouForYourTime

DrForester
The house is voting on it, and it passed. Ths Senate is the problem, and that's led by corrupt turtle, Mitch McConnell.
ThankYouForYourTime
The republican response (harder to find) was that Democrats want new price controls entirely. No one quotes to block the bill.
ThankYouForYourTime
I looked into this. I couldn’t find a direct quote where any (R) states your assertion. What you’re saying is a quote from an anon. (D) aide
ThankYouForYourTime
Schumer doesn’t seem to be worried about it. thehill.com/homenews/senate/485671-schumer-expects-senate-to-pass-coronavirus-funding-this-week

At what point do we literally start killing them back?

Ill take 15 more years with my gramps over this twat being alive enough to continue blocking lifesaving legislation. Its so damn frustrating
cowabungajunkie
Then kill him yourself if that’s what you want and believe is the right thing to do.
mastodoff0
I think my problem is for you or I to kill him for his deadlt legislation it would ruin our lives. We pay him to do the same thing.
