PRESTIGE OF THE SENATE TAKES ANOTHER BLOW


Confidence in Congress at an all-time low.
Prestige of the Senate takes another blow.
Fiscal Cliff Medicare $500 million Heist revealed.
Taken from Medicare and given to the “well -heeled’

A Fiscal Cliff “negotiated provision buried deep.
Hidden where the American public could not see.
Whodunit? No one knows, or they dare not say.
That we never find out they hope and pray.

GOTO: Fiscal Footnote: Big Senate Gift to Drug Maker http://nyti.ms/T24INK

"Amgen has deep financial and political ties to lawmakers like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, and Senators Max Baucus, Democrat of Montana, and Orrin G. Hatch, Republican of Utah, who hold heavy sway over Medicare payment policy as the leaders of the Finance Committee."
