Why do we need to spend money on this anyway? It's NOT the job of Federal Government to fund such programs. Let the companies' shareholders fund research.
Sure sign it is a boondoggle, if noone wants to invest but politicians.
Good point.
The U.S. government pays for most significant medical research for the world.
Absolutely right, my unknown friend. Far too many taxpayer dollars being spent on activities that private enterprise should fund. In the church we say, "Back to the Bible." In the Federal Government, we need to say, "Back to the Constitution" - and be originalists in both camps.
