  1. Republicans would not go there of course. After 7 years they have no clue how to fix ACA If they don't fix ACA, 2018 and 20 will
  2. You would not be a very good bipartisan. I do respect your honesty.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Bill's average 24.9 pts per game 2016 is very good , defense bad , TT ok bridge 10. Buffalo Bills 16 G 399 total pts 24.9 average https://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats/team-points-per-game/2016/

  7. Voice of America (VOA) is a United States government-funded multimedia news source and the official external broadcasting institution of the United States The VOA charter—signed into law in 1976 by President Gerald Ford—requires VOA to "serve as a consistently reliable and authoritative source of news" and "be accurate, objective and comprehensive" https://www.voanews.com/
  8. Study: 1 in 4 U.S. Jobs At Risk of Offshoring A quarter of all U.S. jobs and half of all low-skill positions could be offshored or automated in the coming years. https://www.usnews.com/news/economy/articles/2017-07-17/study-1-in-4-us-jobs-at-risk-of-offshoring So much for reducing national debt if even less people pay taxes Study: 3 in 10 Americans Haven't Recovered From Great Recession https://www.usnews.com/news/economy/articles/2017-07-13/study-3-in-10-americans-havent-recovered-from-great-recession
  9. 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/
  10. So the healthcare system in the U.S. is fubar
  11. GOP is in control till at least the 2018 Congress election. That will be a very important referendum . ACA needs big changes to work , repeal without improve would be a disaster. Can Congress pass Trump's extreme promises ?
  12. Bills announce ticket distribution information for four practices All tickets are available starting Tuesday, July 18 at 9 a.m. at the following locations. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/Bills-announce-ticket-distribution-information-for-four-practices/610a5123-e751-40c3-b50d-c2512245820d
  13. I just hope Peterman and Cardale can show some promise this season. Trading up is expensive
  14. This is the real tragedy . Why doesn't the msm make this known ?
  15. I retired from a GM plant small city. In 1978 over 10k hourly jobs, today 1.4k jobs , half pay , no pension. Coal country is even worse for job loss I do see depression
  16. The new jobs, min wage, P/T started by Clinton and unfair trade laws , H-2B and illegal immigration keeping wages low A lot of people have given up imo 59,000 to 65,000 died from overdoses in the US in 2016 and rising Drug Deaths in America Are Rising Faster Than Ever https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/05/upshot/opioid-epidemic-drug-overdose-deaths-are-rising-faster-than-ever.html
  17. 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/
  18. 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
  19. I would think another team could trade for Cousins for a conditional draft pick if he re-signs long term after the tag expires.
  20. I think he would consider that a insult and not re-sign longer then the tag there.
  21. Washington could allow his agent to negotiate a trade before Oct. 31 All trading ends for 2017 at 4:00 p.m., New York time. http://operations.nfl.com/football-ops/league-governance/2017-18-important-nfl-dates/
  22. 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
  23. My take away is that drug companies could make mega $ if they discover a cure for so many millions worldwide.
