Take one half of all military spending for the next 10 years and commit it to curing all forms of cancer within 10 years

Created by D.A. on March 13, 2013

It's time to cure cancer using the excessive money we are spending on the military every year. We can now hit a missile with a missile but too many of our relatives and friends are dying from cancer because we spend much more creating weapon technologies instead of life giving technologies. Let us commit to curing cancer within 10 years of beginning a program that transfers half of military spending and devoting it to the cancer cure which will benefit the American people directly.

When one factors in the Pentagon budget, Veteran's Hospitals and pensions, the military budget of the CIA, NSA, and the billions in military aid we give to certain countries the amount spent each year comes close to 1.1 Trillion dollars. Surely, we can cut that in half and cure cancer with the other half.
