SPENDING SMART

Tens of millions of people in America suffer from crippling diseases. Hundreds of millions worldwide.

I have written before about reducing our nation's debt, and I stand firm on that point. But if the politicos feel compelled to increase our spending and the burden we are placing on future generations to pay it off, then I propose the following: Do not give the money to foreign countries and their questionable and suspect leaders, but give it instead to drug research companies around the world to be used solely for research to prevent/cure/control major diseases/afflictions/plagues, including heart maladies, cancers, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, epilepsy, HIV/AIDS, pulmonary diseases, tuberculosis, malaria, typhoid, and others.

All knowledge gained by this research would immediately be made known to all peoples of the world...to benefit them and all future human life.

If spend we will, time to spend smart.
