U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, D- New York, said Tuesday a generic version of ciproflaxin, the antibiotic used to treat anthrax, should be made available immediately for government use even though German drugmaker BayerAG holds the patent for the drug.

What else would anyone expect? The U.S. is a kleptocracy, a shakedown state. It operates by stealing money from citizen-units and then giving that money to welfare breeders and layabouts and corrupt contractors. Basket-case economies like Israel get $5000 million a year, with Egypt getting the same amount as a bribe. As for the grab of Bayer's property, what can Germany do about it? However, it looks like Bayer is getting the message from this threat to simply steal Cipro: they have committed to supplying enough Cipro to Our Federal Government to treat 10 million sheeple.

Because Hillary is getting her fondest wish: socialized medicine, via a State of Emergency.) --Tim May, Occupied America "They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759.
