The Moonshot program was the largest, organized effort by the U.S. government to find cancer cures. Congress voted it down.

Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.

I’m a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.

Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017? They don’t have to look at patients in the eye and break the devastating news that they have cancer. They don’t have to treat cancers that block intestines or drown a patient’s lungs in fluid.

    Where are you from, let’s analyze the horors of your nations past and why you should be ashamed of it even though you had nothing to do with it.

      I think the big difference for some countries is their atrocities are in the past while the United States is committing them right now and has been doing so consistently for the last few decades.

      But yeah, totally the same.

        the stupidity in both of these statements, mine (rhetorical) and OPs is regardless of the atrocities, its not the average person’s fault. To imply that ALL Americans have blood on their hands, and ALL Americans should be ashamed of their nation’s atrocities is just stupid. The average person has no connection to or ability to stop said atrocities. We were just born here man, sins of the father and all that shit.
