Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Record-Setting Negative Spending


Sorry to be repetitive, but you really should vote YES on Ohio Issue 2, and here's the clincher:

The opposition to Issue 2, a.k.a. "Ohioans Against the Deceptive Rx Ballot Issue," is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PhRMA, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, the largest drug industry lobby in the country, and they have thus far spent $58 million to defeat Issue 2.  The amount is the most ever spent in Ohio on a single ballot issue, and the final total is sure to exceed $60 million.

According to them, Issue 2 will never work, won't save any money, will actually cost us all more (wouldn't that be to PhRMA's advantage?), and so they're doing us all a big favor by spending $60 friggin' million to protect us from this deceptive nightmare.

Bullshit!  They know Issue 2 will work, and they're investing $60 million to protect their own interests and keep drug prices high and unregulated.

Screw 'em!  YES on Issue 2!
