You forgot one issue..Stop the damnable Legal Drug Traffic...
The unnecessary Surgery and overinflated Pharmaceutical Industry and now Prescription Drugs are to be added to Medicare ??? That is sheer Lunacy..We desperately need this Research funding to prevent massive problems..As I have stated elsewhere they have just isolated the gene that causes MS :-) My daughter was rendered helpless by this disease which is triggered by a virus and It is such a wonderful feeling to know that she has a chance to walk again...

Bizarre. You say we need capitalism to fund more socialism so researchers can get rich at public expense. Even the discredited Japanese model wasn't so counter-intuitive.

>>One of the critical changes needed is to decide if this is a capitalist society or not.

You are very mixed up.

I have no strong opinions about the right mix of funding for research, and I am not against any sort of government funding. In general, I think that fundamental research, the sort of thing that will not readily be pursued by private industry, should have some government support, and that charity and investment should fund the rest. I have known people in Research and Development for Dupont, for example, and they do pretty well.....
