We all know the current tough economic times has everybody looking for a way to save a couple bucks. With colds and flu swarming around every classroom and grocery store, certain pharmacies are giving away free antibiotics.
The Stop and Shop Pharmacy is never empty in Cromwell, New Hampshire. Lines are long but move quickly since customers no longer have to pay for their antibiotics. The company is giving away free antibiotics until March 21st to help out with the tough economic times.
Stop and Shop Pharmacy isn't the only company offering free antibiotics. Shop right stores around Connecticut are also giving away free antibiotics.
It's about damn time this happens. There are too many people in this country who cannot afford medication, finally somebody is doing something about it.
I don't know about everybody else, but I, myself, do not have medical coverage. So when I get sick I have to find a way to beat it, or just let it run it's course. This year I have been lucky enough to not need to see a doctor. But not everybody is that lucky.
People are dying because they cannot afford medicine and it's ridiculous. Our government is willing to chuck out $800 billion dollars to help businesses who just keep blowing money out the waazoo, but not to help citizens who can't pay their bill. Yeah, the economic stimulus may could (notice how I say COULD), help the economy. But even if it does, it won't be immediately. It won't help people pay their bills for the month. It won't allow people to pay off the hospital bills. Hell, it won't even pay for the gas to get you to the hospital you can't afford!
We need to worry less about these corporations, and start worrying about the people of america. Now I'm not saying not to help out the corporations. But not $800 billion dollars. Send some of that money to the people that need it. I think that by now we have noticed that the bailouts aren't working. People are still losing their jobs (over 100,000 just in last week). And obviously the current "economic stimulus" up for debate in Washington is not supported by both parties. We're forcing this plan into action, just like we did with the bailouts. And guess what? THE BAILOUTS DIDN'T WORK!!! It's no big secret. The corporations spent the money on lavish getaways and luxuries. Don't believe? In 2008 Citi financial group tried to use $45 million dollars of bailout money to buy a corporate jet. Need I say more?
Question of the Day: Do you support the Economic Stimulus?

And as for the corporations and their "need" for all this money? Complete crap. True, they may actually need it, but instead of wasting their money on fancy transportation, vacations, etc., maybe they should be putting a little bit of that money into their business.
