From Bloomberg (the news service, not hizzoner the mayor):
"Drugmakers led by Pfizer Inc. agreed
to run a “very significant public campaign” bankrolling
political support for the 2010 health-care law, including TV
ads, while the Obama administration promised to block provisions opposed by drugmakers . . .
Whole lotta backscratchin goin on. For whose benefit? Yours? Mine? Well, not exactly:
“President Obama’s efforts to enlist the support of
private industry are exactly what presidents have always done to
enact major legislation,” U.S. Representatives Henry Waxman of California and Diana DeGette of Colorado said in a joint
statement"
Exactly.
And isn't that absence of transparency exactly, precisely, and without doubt one of the principal problems that occurs so often in Washington?
