I'd like to see how this money is dispersed.

Look at cancer, billions have been spent - zero progress. Money alone isn't going to solve things. Making drug companies share info and work together, instead of competitively well. That's the problem.

10 bucks most of this money goes into the pockets of domestic and foreign companies. Just like the $12B/month "defense budget". Same thing.

Trust me, it's not like AIDS patients are goign to get a letter "Hey! Your treatment is all paid for by the US Government!"

aids funding is such a farce.

hiv/aids is a behavior driven disease.

aids, cancer, spinal, stem, whatever. It still goes into the same pockets. Not like it'll actually being used for anything useful. I'm sure they'll do a dog and pony show about an aids patient getting an expiremental new drug.

Defense, Oil, Drug, Banks, etc. - all have direct lines to the admin. Who do you think is bankrolling your Obamas and McCains as we speak? Aunt Sally?

i agree with you.



if i get HIV/AIDs, i'm gonna be pissed. but i'm also going to live a decent # of years.


if i get lung cancer, i'm just gonna die.

You do know there's MORE money in not finding cures than finding cures - y'all know that right?

If an asteroid was coming to hit this planet - and the only way to stop it was with finding a cure for cancer - we'd find one within a month.

People have to die. Welcome to life.
