Exactly. 1 Billion to invent it and 100 Billion to find a cure. I guess that’s the broken window theory on a massive scale.
On top of those $Billions$, there is always the Annual Fundraiser" or boots on every street corner to support a cure for a disease that will never be cured......of course we know that research industry is just another form of job security. We just about had the cure, but will take another 7 to 8 years to determine....that is of course if we get more money.
If and when they find some "PILL" cure and after taking all those $Billions$ of our dollars, Grants, etc., they dare sell it back to us for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.00.
