This is an interesting catch by David Sirota ... The White House today announced it will be spending another $18 million of taxpayer money on television ads promoting its new Medicare bill. Not only was the last round of ads criticized by government regulators as misleading, but the White House is on track to spend more Medicare money on television ads ($80 million) than its own FDA commissioner says is necessary to create a safe system to import cheaper, FDA-approved prescription medicines from abroad ($58 million). Of course, the ads aren't designed to help seniors understand the new Medicare law. They are designed to aid the Bush/Cheney'04 campaign.
