probably has more to do with who's now running the office of the President.
No, Obama had nothing to do with it. I sent comments about the draft version of this document well over a year ago. Yes, it takes government this long to do something this logical and simple.
I normally wouldn't correct something like this, but this is
You're right, my mistake. My point, however, is that bureaucracies can and do make law.
Technically percocet (oxycodone + acetaminophen) is on schedule II, so it doesn't seem that acetaminophen is the difference between schedule II and III.
Are you sure it's the acetaminophen that's causing the stomach problems? opiates are infamous for causing upset stomachs. also, I always thought one of acetaminophen's strengths is it won't bother your stomach like aspirin and NSAIDs.
Do not welcome our nannystate overlords.
Seriously why do we have to keep legislating everything.
When did the FDA become a legislative body? Did I miss that?
The FDA can schedule drugs, so they can decide whether or not I'll get locked in a cage for putting a particular substance in my body. I don't think the term "legislating" is too far off.
Soon after Government run healthcare they are going to tell you want you can and can't eat.
And yet in countries with publicly funded health care the government doesn't do that. It's almost as if your comment is just plain bullshit.
And yet in the US one of the main reasons for taxing tobacco and alcohol is to reimburse Medicare, so a logical conclusion is to tax "bad" food once the State is responsible for everyone's health care. Hell, trans fat is banned in some local jurisdictions so I could see banning other food substances in the future.
You can get a script for just hydrocodone or oxycodone, but doctors don't like to prescribe them because of DEA pressure. Oxycontin is oxycodone plus acetaminophen (like percocet) but is time released.
Please learn to use your brain. Or at least realise that you are talking to adults who can see through your disingenuous talking points.
If we had a budget surplus, this wouldn't be such an issue. We're charging this on the gov't VISA. Spending future taxpayer's money should be scrutinized vigorously.
'Glad to see that the US has a big surplus in the budget that we can afford to fund this stuff.'
Glad to see that Slashdot is helpfully parroting a 'story' fed to Fox News by a 'government watchdog', AKA a right-wing astroturf lobby group previously known for its heroic pro-tobacco, pro-Microsoft and anti-FOSS campaigns funded by (well, you can guess who):

Still, who cares about politically motivated attacks on public health research, provided we can make Knob Jokes?
Glad to see a perfect example of an ad hominem logical fallacy.
Being privatised or not has no bearing on whether you have to pay for it.
Sure it does. I have a gun held to my head (taxes) to subsidize Amtrak customers' fares. If Amtrak were private I would not.
The problem with fully privatised systems is that they have a de-facto monopoly due to the barriers to entry.
But gov't systems do not?
And it's funny how you say private companies are always better when they're all failing.
They're all failing? Are you really being serious? Do you live on this planet?

HA is High Availability
Just out of curiosity, if I lived in your neighborhood and went completely "off the grid", would I still be taxed for the electricity infrastructure?
