Thought this was very clever from the last questioner :)
The last questioner told Manchin that he should take some of the money he has taken from the pharmaceutical industry and “build us a long-term opiate treatment facility in Martinsburg.”
“We need some of that money you got from the pharmaceutical industry and build us a long term treatment facility,” the man said, who identified himself as a heroin survivor. “Write the check right now and build us a rehab facility. We know you’ve got the money. You took it from the pharmaceutical industry.”
PS: Had no idea the US Coast Guard was the 7th-largest fleet in the world. Obviously your defense budget is still too small ;) (in another counterpunch article today)
