No they don't. The NIH is not tasked with things in so narrow of a focus.
Go
to their website and read their mission statement.

I worked at NIH for several years (IBM). I know the culture


But, the NIH doesn't have as it's mission to make a profit.

"The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, is the primary Federal agency for conducting and
supporting medical research. Helping to lead the way toward important
medical discoveries that improve people's health and save lives, NIH
scientists investigate ways to prevent disease as well as the causes,
treatments, and even cures for common and rare diseases. Composed of 27
Institutes and Centers, the NIH provides leadership and financial support to
researchers in every state and throughout the world."

There are several here, perhaps you included, who would rather have it be
either a profit center or be for profit. I think I'll stick with them the
way they are, all faults included.

But that dumb ass bitch read the mission statement. Doesn't that count for
anything?


Drop dead you little coward (metaphorically of course). You're not man
enough even to post under your real name, unlike him.

You do now. That regulation just went into effect.


They were saying on CNBC yesterday that the banks have already found
several loopholes in that law. Who knows what the "next" law will say.

Right you are... they have tons of lawyers for just that purpose.


This crisis is far from being over. It is simply hidden in the debt we
keep ignoring. 10 years from now the republic could be in worse shape
than the Soviets.

Come on... another doomsday scenario. Complete bs. We're certainly aware
of
the problem and it's starting to be addressed.

I haven't seen that plan yet. I just see escalating deficits as far as
the eye can see..

Well, TARP is being paid back, healthcare cost reform is being discussed,
job losses are slowing... it takes time.

who are you talking about? brave and heroic US and Canadian troops who

In no way disrespectful of the fighting men, do you think we are more
"free" than we were in 1991 when we started our middle eastern
crusade? It is clear the terrorists have won.

really? gee. the last time a terrorist attack happened in the US by
islamists was 2001.

Detroit?

But that is not the point. I addressed "freedom". Do you really think
there have been no intrusions on your freedom, in the name of
security, since 1991?
The terrorists don't even have to be successful to cause us billions
of dollars in damage and huge intrusions into our lives.



Wow... I actually agree with you! I think we need to stop being
terrified, and get on with life.

The Obamanation at work. Looks like every president before him did a
better job when recessions hit. But Obama is still talking and debt
spending.

since there never has been a recession like this since 29, and that
one led to 25% unemployment

we can see his view that tens of millions of people walking the street
is fine

as long as the rich do OK

In real no BS unadjusted terms, raw unemployment will go past 25 this
year. I figure in October/November.

Because Obamanomics is about screwing producers and rewarding the corrupt.
It is a 100% dismal failure from a big mouth buffoon.

And as other debtor governments are now doing, they are pulling in the
spending horns real fast as they know the bottom is yet to come.
Governemtns are offering bond, they go unfilled. Yep, governmetns are now
becoming worried as the big debt ponzi scheme didn't work.

Did you know as of Sept 2008 when it looked like Obama was going to win,
the US government hasn't been able to borrow the money it needs from the
markets? It is wholely created new money... inflationary money.



Except, dufus, inflation hasn't been a problem. It's under control. So,
basically, you don't know what the frack you're talking about.

The stimulus you love, will make sure all of them are employed. If they
have no assets, the taxpayers will pay their medical bills.

No one "loves" the stim, but it helped. Your claim is ridiculous on the face
of it. I guess you're unaware of how ERs work. They treat you with or
without insurance. If you don't have it, the taxpayer pays. That's the most
expensive way to treat people.

There you go with those wild , exaggerated, if not false claims again.
For all we know, you could be Pee Wee Herman. The only thing you have
said about yourself that is even somewhat believable is that you drive a
really old rusted out F150.
