GOPers are to busy doing the bidding of their masters while the true Americans get less while "we" are paying the most in taxes. AIDs outbreak should have never went as far as it did. The negligent of higher ups ignored the potential devastation because in their eyes it dealt with "dark people" and "homosexuals". The monies still provides for research in AIDs which is important even to this date, same with Cancer.

The GOP house cut what Pres O requested monetary wise for Ebola, if the Senate Dems tried to request more, Senate GOPers would have blocked it and therefore the monies would have remained in limbo, because GOPers only care about self (1-2%ers) and no matter what, they have enough potential vaccines to save self and eff anyone else.
