Millions of American suffer from Neuropathy, yet the Government doesn't fund any studies to fine a cure for this debilitating chronic disease.
Why?

The Marshall plan may be justified in that it was mostly in the form of loans to peoples who had previously been reasonably successful in managing their finances, and whose recovery was essential to blocking the expansion of Communism into Western Europe. It was a measure in the Common Defense of the United States.

Medical Aid to the Third World cannot be justified on those premises. Play all the word games you like, there is no equivalence. It is Charity, pure and simple. And Uncle Sam has no role as a patron of foreign charities--no legal role that is.

The first principle of honorable Government must be integrity; integrity to the duties imposed, not to those one wishes might be imposed. What President Bush is advocating here, cannot be morally justified.

If you want to fight AIDS in the Third World, by all means do so. But not with the tax receipts from the American people; and certainly not from funds borrowed on their credit.

Because it doesn't have any massive media PR teams. This is because it is not the result of a voluntarily risky lifestyle, and does not promote the liberal agenda... but you knew that already.

Oh, you are so right.
My doctor said this week that there haven't been any serious research since 1991 when the 'genes' theory did not work out and the pharmaceutical companies lost tons of money.
Just wondering if anyone else here suffers ftom neuropathy.
