New Cannon Fodder For Big Pharma

High cost of healthcareFor many decades the pharmaceutical industry has used government to rig their markets in such a way as to keep drug prices as high as is humanly possible even though the same drugs are sold for just pennies in other countries. In the old days advertising in the health care industry especially with respect to drugs was not legal. This was kind of a trade off since government was keeping the pharmaceutical industry competition free.

Why stop with the United States? There is cannon fodder all over the globe just waiting to get screwed by congress and our president on behalf of the largest drug companies in the world.

Well guess what? Along comes the Trans Pacific Partnership. Remember, this is that bill congress is bent on passing and no one knows what is in it. All that is known is that it is a trade bill. It turns out that the purpose of the bill is to rig markets overseas the same way the drug market is rigged in the United States. So, who gets hurt? When a market is rigged, starvation in third world countries always increases. Starvation in the poorest of countries is largely invisible, so it goes unnoticed.

Suffering in the following countries will be noticeable.  Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Vietnam.

Lets hear a round of applause for the big pharmaceutical companies! It takes a high level of genius to fool the Americans for so many decades and then figure out a way to do the same thing with all of the other countries in the world. What is even more amazing is that the cannon fodder of the world have no idea why nothing is going right for them these days. Some even think it is their fault.

About Fantasy Free Economics

James Quillian independent scholar,free market economist,and teacher of natural law. Who is James Quillian? Certainly I am nobody special, Just a tireless academic and deep thinker. Besides that, I have broken the code with respect to economics and political science. Credentials? Nothing you would be impressed with. I am not a household name. It is hard to become famous writing that virtually no one in the country is genuinely not in touch with reality. But, if I did not do that, there would be no point in my broking the broken the code. If you read the blog, it is easy to see that there are just a few charts, no math and no quantitative analysis. That is not by accident. Given what I know, those items are completely useless. I do turn out to be highly adept at applying natural law. Natural law has predominance over any principles the social science comes up. By virtue of understanding natural law, I can debunk, in just a few sentences , any theory that calls for intervention by a government. My taking the time to understand the ins and outs of Keynes General Theory is about like expecting a chemistry student to completely grasp all that the alchemists of the middle ages thought they understood in efforts to turn base metals into goal. Keynesian theory clearly calls for complete objectivity. Government can only make political decisions. Keynesian techniques call for economic decisions. So, why go any further with that? Fantasy Free Economics is in a sense a lot like technical analysis. Technical analysis began with the premise that it was impossible to gain enough information studying fundamentals to gain a trading advantage. Study the behavior of investors instead. Unlike technical analysis, I don't use technical charts. What I understand are the incentives of different people and entities active in the economics arena. For example, there is no such thing as an incentive to serve with life in the aggregate. In the aggregate, only self interest applies. It is routinely assumed otherwise. That is highly unappealing. But, I am sorry. That is the way it is. I can accept that because I am genuinely in touch with reality. Step one in using Fantasy Free Economics is for me to understand just how little I really know. A highly credentialed economist may know 100 times what I do based on the standard dogma. Compare the knowledge each of us has compared to all there is to know and we both look like we know nothing at all. There is always more than we don't know than what we do know. I am humble enough to present myself on that basis. Why? That is the way it is. I am not bad at math. I have taught math. What I understand is when to use it and when to rely on something else. Math is useless in natural law so I don't use it. While others look at numbers, I am busy understanding the forces in nature that makes their numbers what they are. That gives me a clear advantage.
