here's a better idea, why doesn't lance armstrong go and make sure that every dime donated to cancer research (after expenses) is actually being put to a legitimate use, instead of crying to the media that the goverment "ate my baby".. i know why, too much effort, not enough publicity. :down:
Actually, the federal gov't still provides the vast majority of cancer research grants. However, what Lance Armstrong fails to say is that cancer/health related research funding currently outstrips every other area of research that the federal gov't provides funding for. So, a decrease doesn't mean that cancer researchers are running out of money.
