The Moonshot program was the largest, organized effort by the U.S. government to find cancer cures. Congress voted it down.

Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.

I’m a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.

Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017? They don’t have to look at patients in the eye and break the devastating news that they have cancer. They don’t have to treat cancers that block intestines or drown a patient’s lungs in fluid.

    Yes I believe I would have paid less taxes before the “tax cut”, but admittedly it’s tough to directly compare

    At the very least, the cap on state and local taxes exemptions was unfair to high tax, high cost of living states. This clause predominantly affects “blue” states, and there’s a good chance it affects “most” homeowners in some areas. This is not just the rich.

    Trump raised taxes on middle class homeowners living near cities in Blue states
