Rep. Rahm Emanuel

There is no doubt he read those that were presented, and especially on the doorstep of war.

Which would require that we invest the United States equal to the goals we are setting in Iraq, whether it is in the area of health care, education, in the area of road reconstruction. In America, our highway fund will be cut by over $6…

May I ask my colleague, what you have as an ad in your area paper, where people can buy the same medications that they could get at their local pharmacies, if they went to Canada, the reductions, if you could read a few of those…

What do you think, given they have projected, I think it is $1.8 trillion over the next 10 years that seniors will be spending on medications, but if we had access to this bill and it was in place, what would be the savings to both the…

I appreciate that. So what you are saying is that unless it is FDA-approved, it cannot come in, and it is FDA-approved, meaning the Food and Drug Administration, which is the overseer, the czar of what is safe, approves it, then it can be…

I checked that statistic. It has been 69 days since the President on the Lincoln aircraft carrier declared our mission complete and 70 Americans have died; 69 days, 70 Americans since May 1.
