The Deep State War Heats Up :ph34r:
ALF replied to Deranged Rhino's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
As long as the U.S. has a nuclear deterrent capable of M.A.D. massive defence spending is not needed. The U.S. is in too much debt to continue being the world's policeman. Time for the UN to do it's job. -
If Trump and a republican Congress screw up healthcare the pendulum will swing left in 2018. Many millions of people are now receiving needed healthcare under ACA who were not before. Is this bad? Fix the problems , maybe that is too complicated for a republican Congress. I'm Independent , I really don't support either partisan party right now.

Trump voters don't believe Don Jr. met Russian lawyer Less than half of recently polled Trump supporters believe Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer, despite the president's eldest son admitting he attended the controversial meeting. In spite of confirmation from Trump Jr. himself, 32 percent of respondents said the meeting didn't happen and 24 percent said they're not sure. https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/07/18/trump-voters-dont-believe-don-jr-met-russian-lawyer/23036294/

Trump officials open border to 15,000 more foreign workers The Department of Homeland Security on Monday announced a one-time increase of 15,000 additional visas for low-wage, seasonal workers for the remainder of this fiscal year, a seeming about-face from President Trump's "Hire American" rhetoric, following heavy lobbying from the fisheries, hospitality and other industries that rely on temporary foreign workers. The increase represents a 45 percent bump from the number of H-2B visas normally issued for the second half of the fiscal year, said senior Homeland Security officials in a call with reporters Monday. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/07/17/trump-officials-order-15000-new-visas-for-low-wage-workers/

Drug manufacturers in the U.S. set their own prices, and that’s not the norm elsewhere in the world. Countries with national health programs have government entities that either negotiate drug prices or decide not to cover drugs whose prices they deem excessive. No similar negotiating happens in the U.S. http://time.com/money/4462919/prescription-drug-prices-too-high/ good article explaining drug prices

Cousins reportedly won't be re-signing in Washington
ALF replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would think another team could trade for Cousins for a conditional draft pick if he re-signs long term after the tag expires. -

Cure rates are 94% to 99% in people infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1. Some evidence also supports use in HCV genotype 3 and 4. It is taken daily by mouth for 8–24 weeks. The wholesale cost in the United States is about US$91,589.40 for 12 weeks as of 2016. In Bangladesh this amount costs US$1,092.00. Some people travel to India to get access to lower cost medication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ledipasvir/sofosbuvir Good find jmc , going to other countries for medical care is a real option
