As Trump Guts Science, Who Benefits? [View all]

"For years the National Institutes of Health have received bipartisan support. Unless the voting public has gotten distorted beyond the point of even faint recognition, political reality dictates that no congressperson can go back to his or her home district and proudly proclaim to have cut funding for medical research into grandma’s cancer, mom’s heart disease, baby’s developmental disorders and aour leader’s mental illness. The White House’s NIH cuts are likely to face stiff opposition from both parties. And it pays to remember that congress is the one who passes the budget.

Yet the question remains, if both parties support the NIH, whom is Trump representing when he cuts it? Big Pharma. That’s who."
