Big Pharma collectively makes about 712 billion a year, and yet we shell out an average of 270 billion in subsidies from taxpayers. Should we continue to subsidize them? That's like half the deficit right there.

We don't SPEND 270b, I should have worded that better, but that's overall the effect so to speak
