How about not treating anyone with aids and eliminating the disease by extinction!

Aids is spread by BEHAVIOR. It does not cost money to BEHAVE!

From 15 to 50 Billion, in how many years? No kidding. It must be because the results from the previous billions and billions have proven so astonishingly successful. A lot has really changed for the better in Africa and elsewhere on the AIDS front.
</sarcasm>
This really makes me sick. Why don't they use that money for something useful like returning money to taxpayers in these "dire economic times" or drilling for oil.

Can someone please tell me how it is that the majority of people on this planet have not been infected by the AID’s virus? Oh, that’s right. They are not going out and engaging in risky sexual or intravenous drug use behavior.

President George W. Bush had called for a doubling of U.S. funding to help fight a global battle against AIDS. M. President, I saw that episode of South Park.. it's not true.

How about using about $25 billion to bomb every dictator’s palaces on that benighted continent? I’d support that act of compassion.

"Aids is spread by BEHAVIOR. It does not cost money to BEHAVE!"Very true. I wonder how Cancer patients feel when they see their government being so aggressive in fighting AIDS.

Thank goodness for the forward thinking vision of our leaders. You never know, I might turn gay, travel to Africa, find me a prostitute, and shoot up some crank while I am having all this fun.
And to think, our leaders could have been wasting their time and our money in dealing with the oil crisis.
It would be fine with me, if every single one of our corrupt leaders would get terminal boils in the crack of their lazy butt’s.

They should be more worried about the people in Iowa and others hit by floods and tornadoes.

Why invest in new sources of oil or invest in serious technology development when you can pi&& it away on all this really "nice" stuff?
(An added advantage - no one has to prove that the money did one, damn, bit of good - as long as it is handed over with good intentions.)

“Very true. I wonder how Cancer patients feel when they see their government being so aggressive in fighting AIDS.”
I don’t know how cancer patients feel but I can tell you how I as a type #1 diabetic feels! If diabetes research got 1/10th the money AIDS research did we’d probably have cured it by now.
To: NormsRevenge
Another multi-billion dollar do nothing program to satisfy the white guilt leftists. What is all this money supposed to do anyway? I don’t think that the AIDS epidemic has been slowed all these many years.
