Message | Why? If you're going to subsidize anything, subsidize the prices - in case you haven't noticed, the pharmaceutical companies don't need any more money. Against. |
Date | 22:18:07, December 03, 2005 CET | From | Aloria Green Socialist Party | To | Debating the Pharmaceutical Subsidies Act |
Message | But doesn't that still mean we're paying the companies money? At least this proposal guarantees the money will be spent in a worthwhile manner. |
Date | 08:27:50, December 04, 2005 CET | From | Libertarian Capitalist Party | To | Debating the Pharmaceutical Subsidies Act |
Message | But it doesn't guarantee that. At all. |
Date | 16:51:47, December 04, 2005 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Pharmaceutical Subsidies Act |
Message | This is ridiculous. The Freedom Party sees no reason why the government ought to hand out money left and right to corporations. |
