It's amazing how fiscally responsible people become when it's the opposing party that is doing the spending.
It’s not about being fiscally responsible... I was responding to someone else’s comment who didn’t seem to see all the associated costs with the parade... even then you could make the argument that those claiming to be fiscally responsible aren’t being that... most people, not all, claiming to be fiscally conservative seem to just be against “handouts” and not above spending money even in the face of extreme debt...

personally I don’t think Dems or repubs are being fiscally responsible atm though...

I like watching the Olympics for the most part, for the winter games I usually cheer for the Dutch speedskaters.

The Democrats are just playing a stupid game with their memo. Make it unreleasable in its current form by including confidential sources and methods, force the White House to make redactions, and then go out and proclaim Trump is being unfair, non-transparent, and playing politics.

Bravo, scumbags. Bravo.

Ex-Bush lawyer: Trump's memo decision a 'massive strategic miscalculation'
The Hill

Among other things he calls it an unforced error.

Nah this is America where we parade our hardware on the streets of foreign countries and make them pay for it. We’re not some third rate ***hole that parades our military at home to remind our citizens whose boss.

We only do that after we stomp mud holes in someone else’s country; who then pays war reparations to fund our parade at home.

I think there is more to this story then we are seeing. He's a lawyer and shes a teacher and they couldn't spring $116 for tamiflu or have insurance to cover it? Seems a little sketchy.

Tamiflu Price
Dosage Quantity Price Without Insurance
10 capsules of 30mg 1 dose pack $112.20
10 capsules of 45mg 1 dose pack $112.20
10 capsules of 75mg 1 dose pack $117.00
60ml of 6mg/ml 1 Bottle $121.86

This is what I am saying. This is from walmart pharmacy in her city as reported by news. It would seem a teacher and a lawyer could easily cover this.

It is hard to say. The way the article reads it was due to extravagant drug costs. Not so much the little article Chanti posted but research on the issue.

Having money doesn't stop people from taking stupid decisions, but regardless I highly doubt Tamiflu would have saved her life.
"It would seem a teacher..." Seems Slore hasn't gotten the memo that most teachers dump a good chunk of their paychecks towards classroom supplies and basically have nothing for themselves.

Really CJ? That's even a stretch for you. NC website Dept of Labor statistics state starting salary for teachers in NC is $42,870 (no idea how long shes been doing it so I used starting salary just for emphisis)source

Average Lawyer Yearly Salary in North Carolina

Lawyers earn a median salary of $113,430 per year.

I'm sorry something just does not sit right on this with me. I am sorry she died and that sucks but I see the comments on websites like "this is Trumps new America without health insurance." It just seems we are missing something here.
