Debbie Stabenow said "The trading of drugs is probably more highly regulated than any kind of trade. I am wondering if my friend would also object to all the food that comes into the United States from Canada and other countries. We have foods and vegetables coming in every day. We have bottled water and alcoholic beverages coming in. We have all kinds of things that go back and forth across the border from a lot of countries that are not regulated nearly as much as prescription drugs. I am wondering if the Senator is also concerned about or would object to that kind of trade as well." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
