re: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2018c.html#100 Barb heath care and drug industry heavily into all administrations Trump to Drop Call for Medicare to Negotiate Lower Drug Prices https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/10/us/politics/trump-prescription-drug-costs.html First major bill after fiscal responsibility act (spending can't exceed tax revenue) lapse in 2002, was Medicare part-d in 2003. CBS 60mins had expose where the 18 republicans responsible for getting the bill passed made a one line change just before the final vote and prevents CBO from distributing analysis of the change. Change was to preclude competitive bidding (CBS showed drugs under part-D were three times the price of identical drugs with competitive bidding). Within six months of the bill passing, all 18 have resigned and are on drug industry payroll. At least by 2005, US Comptroller General is including in speeches that nobody in congress was capable of middle school arithmetic (for how badly they were savaging the budget) and that Medicare Part-D comes to be a long term $40T item, swamping all other budget items.
