Thanks to Barack Obama and Democrats, Heroin Becoming Charlotte's 'Emerging Epidemic'.

HUNTERSVILLE -- An emerging epidemic; that's how law enforcement
officials describe Charlotte's growing heroin problem that's
making national headlines.

They say it targets people from all walks of life and the
victims are getting younger and younger.

Two years after losing her son Alex to a heroin overdose, Deanna
Uhler continues to share their painful story, hoping it will
save lives.

"You can't love it away. You can't pray it away. You can't scare
it away," she said, her voice shaky with a combination of nerves
and sadness.

Alex was a promising student, taking pre-med classes at Queens
University when his addiction, which started in his teens,
claimed his life.

He was only 21 years old.

"It's important to put a face with it and let people know it
touches all walks of life," said Uhler.

She was a featured speaker at The Heroin Summit at CPCC's
Huntersville campus.

Law enforcement agencies from across the region gathered there
Thursday to better understand and combat what's being called an
"emerging epidemic."

"It affects everyone. It's in your school, it's in your
community," said William Baxley with the Drug Enforcement
Administration.

Charlotte is quickly becoming the poster-city for this problem.

This month the Queen City was featured on a piece by the "CBS
Evening News," illustrating how mid-sized cities are attracting
the growing heroin trade from Mexico.

"It crosses all social strata. We have doctors that we know
abusing heroin. We have students we know abusing heroin and
everything in between," said Baxley.

The piece featured undercover deals going down in well known
parking lots. Uhler says it's disturbing to think that was
exactly how her son got drugs as well.

"I know it was easy for Alex to get it," she said.

Summit organizers say they can't simply "arrest away" this
growing problem. It requires a layered approach, including law
enforcement, drug prevention and treatment and the science of
the addiction.

"Heroin is not a recreational drug. It is something that will
kill you and ruin your life. And not just yours but the people
around you," said Baxley.

"If I can help just one person, one person not be in my shoes,
then that's how I'll honor Alex's memory," said Uhler.

Any city that names a major vehicular artery after anti-Semitic asshole
Billy Graham deserves anything the devil can dish out.

Actually it was the Bush administration's handling of the pharma
industry and the Rush Limbaugh factor that allowed all these folks to
get hooked on oxycontin and such, then after things were made right
and doctors were no longer allowed to be drug dealers, they decided to
hit the street and needles.

Thanks a fucking lot, GW Shrub.

No it was not.

All this time I’ve been calling Max Tax health care Max Baucus’ health
care plan.

But, as William Ockham points out, it’s actually Liz Fowler’s health
care plan (if you open the document and look under document properties,
it lists her as author). At one level, it’s not surprising that Bad
Max’s Senior Counsel would have authored the Max Tax plan. Here’s how
Politico described her role in Bad Max’s health care plan earlier this year:

If you drew an organizational chart of major players in the Senate
health care negotiations, Fowler would be the chief operating officer.

As a senior aide to Baucus, she directs the Finance Committee health
care staff, enforces deadlines on drafting bill language and coordinates
with the White House and other lawmakers. She also troubleshoots,
identifying policy and political problems before they ripen.

“My job is to get from point A to point B,” said Fowler, who’s training
for four triathlons this summer in between her long days on Capitol Hill.

Fowler learned as a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania that the
United States was the only industrialized country without universal
health care, and she decided then to dedicate her professional life to
the work.

She first worked for Baucus from 2001 through 2005, playing a key role
in negotiating the Medicare Part D prescription drug program. Feeling
burned out, she left for the private sector but rejoined Baucus in 2008,
sensing that a Democratic-controlled Congress would make progress on
overhauling the health care system.

Baucus and Fowler spent a year putting the senator in a position to
pursue reform, including holding hearings last summer and issuing a
white paper in November. They deliberately avoided releasing legislation
in order to send a signal of openness and avoid early attacks.

“People know when Liz is speaking, she is speaking for Baucus,” said
Dean Rosen, the health policy adviser to former Senate Majority Leader
Bill Frist (R-Tenn.).

What neither Politico nor Bad Max himself want you to know, though, is
that in the two years before she came back to the Senate to help Max
craft the Max Tax plan, she worked as VP for Public Policy and External
Affairs at WellPoint.

So to the extent that Liz Fowler is the Author of this document, we
might as well consider WellPoint its author as well.

Did you really read and UNDERSTAND your own reference? What you are saying
is that people got hooked on Limbaugh's drug addiction is because of taxes.
Yeah. Sure.

Why yes and thank you for asking, as a matter of fact I would like
some. I would set you up an appointment, but it won't be be necessary
after the FBI contacts you for communicating threats over the
Internet, and puts you in a jail cell with a guy who likes to roleplay
Mister Rogers (making you his personal captain kangaroo courtesy of
his cock in your ass).

That all of course will only happen after Martha Stewart kicks your
ass sideways for not knowing how to use the shift key properly....

..masHed? Really?

Don't come running to me because, like his son, your father was a worthless
drunk and an all-around pile of dogshit.
