Seems like a strange thing for the CDC to claim...essentially they are saying the US war on drugs is a complete failure...since we have THIS many people still dying from the problem.


Nobody wants to touch the fact that SO many drugs enter the US on a consistent basis, year after year, so, until that is addressed, it wont stop.

Actually, the majority of Medicaid recipients are children.

But I suppose many of their mothers could lean left politically, so let's cut those kids off now, since they might grow up to be Democrats, right?

Your posts show a consistent lack of humanity. And you seem proud of it. Which is sad.

Socialism is the lack of humanity that has killed tens of millions and a growing scourge in the US thanks to liberal educators. The origin of sadness.

Did you know that the money you pay in taxes goes towards paying for addicts to receive treatment, medication, etc?


Many states even use taxpayer money to pay for 30 day rehab stays for addicts.

Most people just want to live, they don't want to be human mules for capitalists, so they can buy overpriced gadgets and toys. And they really don't want to be chided by obnoxious human livestock for not "doing enough".
Now see I am not talking about workaholics doing maximum OT vs normal guys. I am talking about the disability commando, the free loaders the manipulators. The people who scream not fair because they dont promote as fast as the people who apply themselves.
I despise those scumbags. I despise the system that has different expectations and accountability for motivated people versus the slackers.

Sounds like people are dying b/c congress is failing to do its job. They want to keep lobbing the issues like a tennis ball.

Seems like we're competing with Japan..
No Japan doesnt have a plethora of pudge balls. It has a one of the lowest percentages of tub o' lards. But fat is beautiful.

Lets cut them off and teach the adults to be responsible and take care of their kids. Single parenthood, because of the welfare state, causes many of our problems.
