Dishonest people say Trump is cutting all research funding, such as cancer and Alzheimer’s research. It’s untrue. They know it’s untrue, but they’re hysterical about Trump and they must make up a reason. However, even if Trump DID cut 100 percent of research by the government, we’d still have it. How? From the same sources who pay for it now: the private sector. The federal government’s research is funded 100 percent by taxes, plus inflation (created by the Federal Reserve to finance the massive federal debt). If we cut the cost of government by 70 or 80 percent, and reduced inflation in the process, the demand for research would be met by the private sector.
Too many people want research for this not to happen. It’s ignorant to believe that without government, there would be no cancer or Alzheimer’s research. The truth is actually the opposite: Without a robust and rich private sector, there would be no government. Private sector research would be better, honest and not politicized. Shysters and sociopaths like Fauci would not flourish in private sector research. Getting government OUT of research would be the best thing to happen to medicine.
