Whats constructive about ignorant accusations? Please explain to me how the FDA has not added to the expense of pharmaceuticals for which we all suffer. Chomsky himself talks about the enormous costs of drugs. The FDA destroys competition by creating a huge barrier to entry, creates a monstrous bureaucratic process which forces drug companies into literally decades of investment and studies in order to bring a drug to market. And you want to blame corporate greed for the high price of drugs?

Yes, what is constructive about ignorant accusations? Please explain to me why health costs everywhere else in the world are lower than ours (even, GASP!!!!, in countries with national health systems), yet we have lower health care. And you want to blame govt involvement for the high price of drugs?

Thats just the tip of the iceberg and a perfect example of what happens when government attempts to fix things. And yes, the FDA necessarily drives up the cost of drugs. For the reasons I cited.

I don’t accept your premise that we have lower quality, please prove it. I have a complicated point about the affects of liberal policies in general, and how that has driven down the overall health of a huge portion of our population, which skews our quality down. Unfortunately its easy for morons like you to say our healthcare is poor, then cite statistics drastically distorted by low income and welfare families living a lifestyle directly resulting from your own policies.

They are unhealthy because they don’t take care of themselves, because they think its the governments job, because you idiots make them believe that. We saw it in New Orleans with Hurricane Katrina. They stayed there because they dont understand how to take care of themselves. Liberalism is a disease. You guys perpetuate and defend it because you are stupid.

the people who were trapped in New Orleans and died, had no way out. No transportation and city agencies did not get moving fast enough. The government you want already exists. It’s a pity, humanity can do better.

Those people who died there, did so because of your stupid ideals. They sat there and waited, because your moronic policies and governmental programs designed to appease your personal guilt about poor peoples plight prevents them from believing or understanding they can do a better job taking care of themselves. Instead they expect transportation and city agencies to take care of them. Welfare and liberalism is currently destroying the African American and poor community. Congratulations.

“Most” Americans? Chomsky doesn’t speak for ‘ANY’ Americans, he is not an elected representative. He needs to stop generalizing and promulgating his socialist (now anarchist?) agenda. Chomsky only has a Phd in Anthropology and specialized in linguistics. He is ridiculed at MIT for having a “second career”. He is not a political scientist nor an economist. SHUT UP CHOMSKY!
