I meant in general
[QUOTE=Glaber;32375721]I searched for fox articles because of this: The whole point of my post was to show what fox did cover in regards to what 5killer said they didn't cover. Or do we need the bad reading rating back?[/QUOTE] That line was just a joke considering how much you read Fox News. But why won't you argue the factual points of my post, instead of trying to disprove something that wasn't intended to be serious?
What's to argue? If those companies are hiring, then all the better. Just hope they have enough customers so they can keep their employees hired. If it's the Medicare stuff, well from what I could figure out, it wasn't a bill, but a deal worked out with the white house that the president reneged on. [quote]In the “PhRMA” deal, drug companies would fork over $80 billion in fees as well as give drug discounts to seniors in Medicare over 10 years, among other things. In exchange, the White House agreed, among other items, to not force the drug industry to accept rebates on drugs sold through Medicare Part D, a program launched under President George W. Bush to subsidize prescription drugs for seniors. But President Barack Obama's new deficit push calls for those Medicare rebates, via the Simpson-Bowles plan. The deficit plan "has blown the deal to smithereens," says William S. Smith, managing director of Healthcare National Strategies, a D.C.-based government affairs consulting firm. “The Obama Administration has repudiated the PhRMA deal,” says Smith, a former vice president for US public affairs and policy at Pfizer (PFE).

That's just like something a republican would say!
