Joe Biden Won’t Cure Cancer By Signing Another Blank Government Check

During Joe Biden’s first address to a socially-distanced and masked Congress on Wednesday evening, he included one particularly noteworthy goal: to end cancer.

We have a purpose to develop breakthroughs, to prevent, protect, and treat diseases like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and cancer. I will never forget when we passed the cancer proposal in the last year I was vice president. Almost $9 million going to NIH, and if you will forgive my personal — the name of my deceased son. It meant a lot. But so many of us have deceased sons, daughters, relatives who died of cancer. I could think of no more worthy investments, I know of nothing that is more bipartisan. So let’s end cancer as we know it. It is within our power to do it.
