Negotiating drug prices? How about making price gouging ILLEGAL? How about a world market price for drugs instead of a monopoly market in America?

I can go through the entire list like this. Trying to cheer for these crumbs is contortion at it's most contorting.

I mean, I'm with you that would be great, but the President isn't a dictator. I don't know why this keeps coming up, I don't want one person having the power to make huge sweeping decisions because they feel like it.

Holding the president to an impossible standard is only going to hurt getting where we're trying to go here.

All of these are reported in "corporate news."

This is the beauty of not consuming the MSM, you can believe it has reported on or not reported on whatever you want.
