Science March in Different Cities.
Marches for Science Outdraw Donald Trump's Inauguration
Good sized crowds and even in the rain. This is in part for Earth Day and Donald John Trump's seeming refusal to acknowledge Global Warming. |

"The Trump administration's budget blueprint calls for reducing National Institutes of Health spending by $5.8 billion, but the chief executive officer of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis said now is the time to increase investment in cancer research. "We as an institution do not comment on the political landscape and decisions that are being made, but in general, great progress has been made in cancer, great progress has been made in our understanding of the drivers of cancer and how we can use that information most effectively treating patients," St. Jude CEO Dr. James R. Downing said. Amid proposed Trump cuts, St. Jude CEO says now's the time for cancer research investment "The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) would see a $15.1 billion reduction (18% funding cut). HHS seeks to enhance and protect the health and well-being of all Americans. HHS administers a host of programs that impact health, social services, and overall wellbeing for millions of Americans HHS includes dozens of agencies and offices including: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) would see a $5.8 billion reduction (18% funding cut). The NIH is the largest source of funding for medical research in the world. The President’s budget calls for the twenty-seven centers and institutes that make up the NIH to undergo a “major reorganization” The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is a part of the NIH. The NCI coordinates the National Cancer Program which conducts and supports research, training, and health information dissemination. Due to the work of the NCI, significant progress has been made in the fight against cancer with the overall rate of death from the disease decreasing for over a decade. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) administers health care programs and insurance for older Americans, people with lower incomes, pregnant women, children, people with disabilities, and others The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the control and supervision of food, medications, medical devices, and other products The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) leads public efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation." President Trump’s Budget Significantly Reduces Funding for Cancer Research "Given the volume and nature of NIH- and NCI-funded cancer research, it is unlikely that the private sector or charitable foundations could make up the difference should the White House's proposed budget cuts be adopted by congress. These cuts “would not be mitigated in any meaningful way by private-sector investment,” Mr Pugach said. “It is not the type of research that the private sector typically invests in as it is often viewed as too tenuous or risky, where the horizon line for commercialization is widely viewed as being too long for a sufficient return on investment.” http://www.cancertherapyadvisor.com/...icle/646792/2/ "The White House’s proposal also includes a $314 million cut to the CDC, affecting some of its occupational safety, public health, and HIV/AIDS programs; a $350 million cut to the National Science Foundation; a $100 million cut to mental health grants given under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration; and a $40 million decrease in FDA staffing."

"Money for the wall President Donald Trump wants to build along the U.S. border with Mexico must be part of the massive spending bill Congress is preparing, the White House budget director says." http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/21/trump...ll-a-must.html "President Donald Trump is proposing immediate budget cuts of $18 billion from programs like medical research, infrastructure and community grants so U.S. taxpayers, not Mexico, can cover the down payment on the border wall."

Given the metastatic cancer that has gripped Trump cultists, it's not at all surprising...that he would want to curtail spending in that area.

You know Bucco. THAT is the reason that few take you seriously. You jump, you leap, you catapult to your own obsessions. Your own opinions and you are so wordy. I think that there is a valid reason to see that all funded research is warranted. I said NOTHING about valid research did I? About Cancer research, about Genetic research, about good, solid research done by solid facilities about important issues. The Government of the United State wastes a hell of a lot of money. That is the reason I see this administration rethinking the wall and just continue to see that the laws about immigration are enforced. That is working very well and Trump doesn't seem to mind abandoning one plan if another works better. I really believe that for the first time in a long time, this administration is trying to lock down on wasteful spending. We will see. My guess is as good as yours. |

NO, the ones with their head in the sand are those that think that the credit card payment will never come due. You waste money on stupid studies and social programs like stupid art, and then complain about money being spent on valid expenses like defense. |

His cuts are not as defined as yo want everyone to believe. He did not pick and choose. He just slashed the NIH which has nothing to do global warning. As to immigration.....when he began to spout off in the primary, there was legislation one going to improve security at the border and have immigration reform. Your hero mocked that....it was bi partisan by the way, and has destroyed that movement forever. As far as nobody taking me seriously, I realize that you and Rubicon think you have all the information that matters..,,I realize you believe you two own the moral compass....I realize you two post on here and present FACTS...I realize I should be learning from you, and I apologize for the disrespect I give to you and Rubicon for posting FACTS and current information, which is accurate and up to date. You two are really up to date and smart, and as you say...I am just stupid and know very little. |
