The Pill Spill Within Our Border


Image result for pills within our bordersWill Trump’s expensive wall stop drugs in America? Nope but we do have someone who can possibly make a big dent into the problem of too many drugs in America and his name definitely is NOT Trump. He is Mississippi’s Attorney General who engineered the historic 1998 settlement where big tobacco companies paid billions to folks who have big related health issues from smoking. In 2015 he convinced BP Oil to settle multi- billion dollar suits over its’ huge oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that destroyed lives. He is taking aim at the big drug manufacturers and distributors who flood America with pain killers and other life threatening addictive Opioids. He believes that they should pay for the epidemic killing us all.
We need educated law folks to help Americans and not an   ego maniac spoiled brat self-promoter who hates our military, who is a 5 time deferment of war, who took wages away from our military and who is now taking budgeted monies from   the housing of our troops to pay for a stupid ineffective archaic wall. Mike Moore was the Attorney General from 1998 to 2004 and has not stopped perusing large cases. He has powerful evidence that states like Ohio are among the hardest hit by the Opioid epidemic. He should collect billions from all the companies he is prepared to sue once again but this time not over tobacco that kills, and not over oil slicks that kill but over the constant flow of drugs made in America and carelessly distributed throughout America that are the real killers from drugs in America and not Mexicans fleeing Dictators.
His law suits plan to put big pharma out of business. Ohio alone loses 4-5 thousand people per year from opioid deaths. The new governor of Ohio just hired Mike to sue drug manufactures. Mike is coordinating with 30 plus states in this massive lawsuit. Nearly 15 hundred counties are also suing. The key to stopping drugs from coming to America is in the hands of our law Army and not unpaid troops. The billions of dollars won would be spent on curbing the availability of dangerous drugs on the streets and treatments to help folks not desire these deadly drugs. Mike fought big tobacco and big oil and won. He can win with big pharma too. Too bad he isn’t a self-promoting narcissist that Trump is and few even know his name.
Within 4 years he had all 50 states lined up against big tobacco. He joined into the court of public opinion that tobacco, and oil   companies committed the biggest fraud on the American public, killed millions and made a profit from it just like big pharma is doing now. Tobacco paid $250 billion in settlements. As a result he reduced smoking rates to a minimum. We have a huge pill spill within our borders that is the big problem in America. Our targets should not be to Mexicans who have nothing but to Purdue who makes opioids who said that it falsely was not addictive.  In 2007 in court they admitted that they misled doctors and the public on the addictiveness of the drugs. The distributers of the drugs say that they are just truck drivers meanwhile they take billions in not being regulated on how much they charge for drugs.
We have a Controlled Substance Act that is NOT being enforced by Trump because he and other politicians take big campaign contributions from these companies to just look the other way. Trump’s wall is just a distraction and not a cure. Mike is going after AmerisourceBergen, McKesson and Cardinal Health who filled doctors and pharmacies with drugs like it was candy and shared the profits from the costs. Put your faith in our lawmen and not into Trump who has never governed anything in his life and who  is now bankrupting America as he has done to his businesses.
