The development and distribution of life saving and health promoting pharmaceuticals should be a public utility run for community benefit. Instead the powers that be have handed it over to for-profit monopolies. Already many new drugs are discovered at taxpayer expense (via the VA and NIH). They are then handed over, for a pittance, to Big Pharma. Who set prescription prices so high that many of us have to choose between taking our medication and heating our homes in the winter.

What I find really sad, Aunty, is that most government spending either goes for military expenditure or to pay off debt owed to financial institutions.
