With the passing of Steve Jobs at 56 from cancer; As Amercians we can build nuclear weapons but we still can't solve cancer? WTF?

If America could come up with cancer treatments not only would we save thousands of American lives we could also solve our debt crisis by selling the cures to other countries with have trade agreements with.

If Iran wants to fuck over America, fine no cures for you!

I'm all for curing cancer. What we need to do is find a way to make diabetes kill people faster...less fatties = smaller, healthier population = lower health care costs!!

(I know, I know...for all of you overly serious people out there...this won't really lower health care costs. Fucking buzzkillingtons)

Healthier doesn't mean lower cost. The only thing that will bring down cost is less people in this world. Lower the demand lower the cost. Its business 101.

You contradict yourself. You speak of a free-market soloution to a real world problem. Cure Cancer. This will be done by very large private corporations. They will be selling the cure, not the government. Very large corporations pay virtually no taxes and the government would see crumbs compared to the whole kitty.

Part of the debt problem is that America's value is dropping. Overseas investors are not willing to invest in the US any more. America just doesn't make good products to export. A cancer cure would be a good export product, thus more money for America.

eat less then live longer. The less cancer causing things you take into your body the better your chances at a longer healthier life. Im looking at YOU Steve Jobs.

If an American company cures cancer, they will no longer need investors, they will need buyers. We need the investors now to drive the job market. This is not going to happen.

Once they have the product, It will sell its self and the company will make billions and pay mere millions in taxes, thus no money for America.
