It's too bad they can't control Rx prices somehow with out all the confusion of the part B medicare.
Another Seat in Utah isn't that GOP territory?
Science and engineering jobs are all overseas (ok a good number of them) so this might help those who can't get work in this field for a while.
Training math and science teachers......hmmm.......less intense science in grade school and more practical math, as in financial is what is really needed, no 5th grader needs to know the complex function of the heart, save that for college or HS A&P
Utah is GOP territory but be careful with Utah. That state can't stand the Dickster. Congress doesn't have control over RX prices because the Gerbil has the pharmacutial companies in his back pocket. You get rid of the Gerbil then you change the rules on the pharmacutical companies.
