Senator Chuck Grassley is a hard working man. When he’s not busy in Congress investigating the Fast and Furious scandal, he likes to watch a little TV, specifically the History Channel. There’s just one problem: there isn’t very much history on the History Channel anymore…
This is a blog for the well-versed politic.

Among the findings: prescriptions for anti-depressants actually declined five percent over the study period. Birth control was up more than 90 percent. And orders for asthma drugs increased 14 percent.
But one of the most interesting results is the remarkable rise in medication for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. From 2002 to 2010, prescriptions for the disorder jumped 43 percent. […]
