Few of us have not experienced a family member or friend dying from cancer. Politicians love to make promises they can't keep, so why not promise a cure for cancer? In early campaigning, Trump and Biden are trying to outdo each other in promising a cure. Even a libertarian might be forgiven for thinking, If the government is going to spend my money, at least cancer research is a good use.

Not to be outdone, Trump promised to cure cancer and "many problems."
