The republicunt fuckheads don't give a rats ass about any of that. They are owned by the upper 1% and they will be fine no matter what happens to the country.

This is the problem.

A big part of it, yeah.

However, with the US being the leader in medical research, part of me hopes, morbid as it may be, that someone like Grover Norquist or the Koch Brothers gets one of these rare diseases we're studying. I wonder what their reaction would be to cutting funding to researching bird flu if one of the came down with it?

Why I personally don't like arguments of left and right.
Yes the republicans, from what I can sea from this side of the sea are owned by the 1% so that the argument is twisted from individual ownership to centralist control. But the problem with the left is that it is also owned by the 1% so their argument is twisted from care of the individual to that of a centralist state's handouts.
This is not just an American problem.
I would say the true strength of an economy is in the small independent companies, not the large corporations. I would say the way to value a society is how does it value the individuals within it. Given these as my starting points I don't see political parties which further any part of my agenda.
Every party would save a large bank, but let householders go to the wall.
Cuts everywhere, but not the 1%'s wealth.
In Britain the Chancellor announced as part of the budget he was taxing the rich, but what he did was cut the taxes on the 1% but increased the number of people described as rich. Thus the 1% paid less, but the rest of the top 10% paid more.

David Koch, douchebag or asshole take your pick, has been pretty good about medical research. He has donated/pledged $200 million to mostly cancer research over the past few years. He is even on record bitching about the damage that would be done by large cuts to the NIH.

I think the subsidization of religion should be marked as part of the budget. And then cut to pieces.
