They'll just spend it all and look for new things to tax
Perhaps.
But we can just Kick the Can Down the Road and let the Next Administration worry about something like that.
Wow, I didn't derail this thread, that happened all on it's own after various people explained to you how the deeming regs are not pending. If you've got something else to add to that discussion I'd be happy to read it.
I actually wish you were right, unfortunately I don't believe you are. We've still got more fighting to do. Why do you want people to believe the fight is over when it isn't?
Also, you realize the post you just quoted was sarcasm, right?
We should have really moved this someplace else, I'll give you that. As for the original topic, as far as I know, we don't really know what's going to happen at this point.
Here I'll get this sucker right back on topic!
Dealing with tobacco control liars: under Trump, everyone will see what it’s like
Sort of.

If you really think about it, we like to believe that we are in an enlightened age, with all of the info we have just a few mouse clicks away. Then read the deeming regs and all the bad press that has been written about vaping, we are already in a dystopian world, where the powerful institutions entrusted with protecting our health and well being, are just another tool to squash and suppress a grass roots movement away from deadly tobacco consumption, and also protecting powerful corporations who peddle overpriced chemicals with laundry lists of side effects while their CEO's rake in millions of dollars a year.
I'm a little more optimistic than you. I still think we will prevail in the end (as far as vaping is concerned).
While not all drugs and treatments have payed off, we have made major advancements in medicine. There are countless people who would have died, not all that long ago, without modern medicine. As far as the laundry list of side effects, there were always side effects, but we were often not told what they were. Yes, it's far from perfect, and I totally agree that profit has gotten way out of line.
Democracy, while more corrupt than it once was, was always a messy business. It's not so much the institutions, but the special interest groups that have gotten so powerful. It's hard for a citizen to have a voice when money=speech.

My gripe with the FDA goes back a few years, having the occasional bout of gout, I used to take a med called colchicine, which was an orphan drug, it used to cost pennies per pill. One company exploited this orphan drug laws and got approval for colchrys, basically the same chemical, now it costs many fold the cost of the original formula, making it unaffordable to me. I have no good feelings towards this type of racketeering.
Sadly, you're probably correct. I'd add that the increase in domestic manufacturing jobs would, at first, somewhat offset increased costs, but only in the places where those jobs were added. If enough manufacturing were added (back) into our job market, a lasting change could be brought about, I think.
I was a coal miner for few years, and I miss the money and security that brought. I'd love to see some of that return to America, because that's what I grew up believing America is. My heart breaks for the younger generations.
Exactly.
Most are fat because the lines of good nutrition are blurred.
Nutritious food doesn't claim to be Nutritious or void of bad ingredients on the package.
If your package claims it's void of something detrimental or healthy, chances are it's nutritionally poison.
