Wednesday, April 28, 2004The damn ads are more expensive than the medicineFrom David Sirota: The White House today announced it will be spending another $18 million of taxpayer money on television ads promoting its new Medicare bill. Not only was the last round of ads criticized by government regulators as misleading, but the White House is on track to spend more Medicare money on television ads ($80 million) than its own FDA commissioner says is necessary to create a safe system to import cheaper, FDA-approved prescription medicines from abroad ($58 million). And, as Kos notes, this is all about re-electing Bush and Cheney. posted by chris at 1:39 PM ------------------ |
