Why has bush cut research funds for cancer and hindered embryonic stem cells research? Is he a monster?
Yes. I used to think he was just stupid, a puppet for the rich and evil. Now I'm sure he's evil himself. Just look at his veto of HEALTH INSURANCE FOR CHILDREN! What next? Sweat shops? (Actually, the Daily Show did a skit on this, mocking Bush with a Dickensian "report" on children and the poor, and 'how lucky they was' to get jobs in workhouses!).
Reply:No he isnt a monster and the stem cell issue is one of a religious nature. The solution to the stem cell research problem will be in office Jan of 2009.





The cancer research funding cut was a cut of funds going to those firms that had not produced any results over a period of many years. You don't throw away money for research on people that arent producing results.
Reply:Why fund embryonic stem cell research when adult stem cell research has proven very effective? Adult stem cells have been used for decades to treat dozens of diseases including Type 1 diabetes,liver disease,and spinal cord injuries.Currently,adult stem cells are used to treat more than 80 different diseases. I see absolutely no reason to continue funding research with embryonic stem cells when so much progress has been made with adult stem cells as opposed to embryonic stem cells.
Reply:Source please.
Reply:Cutting cancer research and children's health care are ways that he has shown his fiscal conservatism. Denying federal funds to stem cell research was a way that he showed his social conservatism. He may not be heartless, but the ideology he follows certainly is.
Reply:Yes
Reply:I'd suggest you go study how the US government works. Bush CAN'T cut it..
Reply:You know nothing of science. Embryonic stem cell research has produced no potential.


Billions have been spent on cancer research over the years. Who is to say spending billions more will solve the problem.





I say get off the Bush bashing. Donate you own money if you wish.

Reply:He needs more money for his 1st Amendment erasing Faith Based Initiatives.
Reply:A monster may be a bit much. I don't know the man. Any way he is not alone. The president does not write laws or vote for their passage. He can only sign or veto as he sees fit. He can also influence. Large big money interest like the pharmaceutical companies, medical lobbyist and conservative think tanks have all contributed to the election coffers for both the Democratic and Republican parties. The desire to privatize everything government except the military while increasing the budget on big money give aways to the very rich is behind a lot of the government cut back in needed services. Look at S-CHIP, the money for infrastructure like bridges and levies, and aid to even help the veterans returning from his war. All these thing are being cut while the largest deficits ever produced are coming out of Washington. You go figure.
