Bush doesn’t even attempt to hide his real agenda anymore. A bill that would force drug companies to negotiate lower prices for Medicare, ie, bring down health spending and make drugs more affordable does not jive with Dubya. And why not? Well, who cares if healthcare spending is over the top? Who cares about old geezers getting their drugs? This bill will harm big Pharma’s profits, and Dubya couldn’t stand to allow that to happen.

From ABC News

Despite President Bush’s veto threat, the House approved legislation Friday that would require the government to negotiate with drug companies over the price of medicines for Medicare participants.

Democrats used their new majority status to push through the latest of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s priorities for the first 100 hours of the new Congress. The vote was 255-170, mostly along party lines, well short of the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto.

Dubya says that competition is already “bringing down prices” and encouraging the development of new drugs. What a moron. Let’s hear all about the prices going down. Come on Dubya, let’s see some examples. Let’s hear all about how healthcare spending is decreasing.

Is this man one of the most despicable forms of human life ever to walk the earth?

The president and his Republican allies have argued that this bill would do nothing. Then why, I must ask, would he bother to veto it?” said Dingell, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Yes, if the bill is so benign and won’t have any effect on anyone or anything then why make such a big deal over it? Why bother to veto it? We’re waiting for an answer, George.

How many days until 2008? I do believe that George W Bush will go down in history as not only the absolute worst president in the history of our country, but as one who caused some of the worst destruction to our planet and the creatures living upon it. How many people have died or been injured from his policies, which include not only Iraq but also withholding money from the UN Population Fund, his sickening stipulations for the AIDS funding, and trying to bully nations into going along with his thinking. How much destruction has he caused to our planet with his greed and denial of global warming?

And now he wants to attack old people. Deny them lower prices for drugs. What a guy. You just gotta love Dubya.
