SHKRELI: UP YOURS, CONGRESS

SPECIAL POST

"UP YOURS" seems to be infecting the whole country, (See WE'RE NOT TO BLAME and BURNEY MOUNTAIN HERMIT).  

A former pharmaceutical company CEO who generated national outrage when he jacked up the prices on life-saving medications appeared before a Congressional Committee Thursday, invoking his Fifth Amendment rights and rolling his eyes, as one congressman asked if he was “even paying attention.” After leaving the hearing, he headed straight to Twitter and called the lawmakers, "imbeciles." 

Although I'm inclined to agree with that characterization, his demeanor and verbiage showed obvious, outward contempt for Congress.    

As has been traditional in Congress for the last seven years, look for a whole lot of screaming, yelling and wringing of hands, followed by... nothing.  

In the meanwhile, dig into your pockets; prices are going up even more.  It's called the "ObamaCare Effect."   

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
