Peoples opinion. They have their own experiences with this economy good or bad, and i suggest you stop digging once youre in a hole of that size. My question of you is how much business taxes are included in this budget. So what our budget does on taxes we propose a fully paid for set of middle class tax cuts that is paid for in the way that i discussed before. With business tax increases . Actually i want doesnt include any business tax increases. What are the taxes . I notice youre planning a massive increase for Capital Gains tax, nearly doubling the Capital Gains tax rate from the beginning of thiS Administration. All were doing is proposing to take it back to what it was under reagan. Are you proposing to take the income tax rate back down to where it was under reagan . We are propose inging a comprehensive, revenueneutral business tax reform. Were proposing to fully offset the tax cuts for 44 million middle class families average 600 drars ewith the Capital Gains tax. Heres the p
They are not the same people dedicated to producing the light, sweet crude thats produced in the oil sector, for the most part. So if you offer discounts to asian consumers at large so that they become beholden to your type of oil and they build refineries specifically dedicated troo processing your type of oil its going to be harder for them to switch to somebody elses oil down the line. So it makes sense to keep the price a bit lower right now so that asian consumers build up refinery capacity for medium and heavy sour sulphur rich, saudi type oil, and you try and guarantee your market down the road when you will be putting on the brakes and sending prices back up. Okay, this is kind of thinking about the supply and demand side of the market, but there are other factors that we need to think about that i think people dont often like to consider. And that is that the saudis, the qataris and their friends in the gulf on the sunni side of the aisle have created a monster. By funding rad
16. Im happy to. Nkats, now just three years old, was the first new center at nih again, quite a long time and was focused in trying to identify the bottle necks from going from basic science discoveries to benefits. In collaboration with our partners in the private sector. I think initially there were some concerns that nih is becoming a drug company, that really was never the plan and is not happening now. Instead, we are identifying areas of Technology Development that no Single Company could undertake, but working with them, we can give you just one example. The effort to try to figure out when youre developing a new drug, whether its going to be safe in humans or not. Has been a real difficult one. We use animal studies, small animals, large animals. Its not that accurate. Its slow, its expensive. We probably lose drugs along the way because some mouse got a slight liver issue and it probably would have had no relevance to humans but we sort of lose the drug at that point. Wouldnt
Cancer, what we can do about it. But the other component which is a longterm ambitious to be sure effort is this cohort of a million or more americans, which we could be studying for virtually all diseases and knowing that you are a dentist i would certainly include in that such things as periodontal disease. We know the environment and genetic risk are involved in those conditions. But we really havent had a sufficiently large study with appropriate patient participation to be able to get those answers. This should be a way to go there. So thats true for diabetes, for Heart Disease, for alzheimers disease, for virtually every common condition with a million people, youre going to have enough events you should really be able to dissect, what were the biomarkers that warned this would happen what were the environmental factors that played a role. We never had that power before we aim to get it. Thats fascinating stuff, and could really advance the advancement of diseases and cure diseas
