NJ is a baske...NJ/Pharma is a potential black swan.<br />NJ is a basket case, budget wise.<br />A sudden urge for protectionism could cripple big pharma.<br />We already have a shortage of drugs in hospitals for generics, an acute problem for chemo and cancer treatments.<br />If NJ really does get hit with an F3, how in the heck are we gonna keep the sheeple sedated without mother little helpers.I'm Not POTUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885542838234710249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-87491387466453721312011-08-30T12:32:06.825-05:002011-08-30T12:32:06.825-05:00«What magical services can we export to pay for al...«<i>What magical services can we export to pay for all the clothing, cars, shoes, diapers and soccer balls?</i>»<br /><br />Well, the industrial policy of the USA government has been for the past few decades to export financial services and products, in particular derivatives.
