AIDS Funding

Seems to be a lot of complaining now about the government not funding national and international AIDS as speedily as was expected nor in a guaranteed amount. While there is certainly merit in this undertaking, there are many competing priorities such as cancer research, heart disease, diabetes, or my concern alzheimers, etc.
While Stephen Lewis does excellent work, he is a one trick pony and he and the AIDS establishment do not have any more of a god given right to our tax dollars than any of the above.
