Congress has a responsibility to review research paid for by hard-working American taxpayers.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's Congress' job to keep an eye on the other agencies and the workings of the entire government. It is our constitutional duty.
Congress has the constitutional authority to investigate the other agencies of government. We are the watchdogs of the taxpayer's money, and we have the right to know how that money is being spent and to conduct oversight over the government.
I respect the Congress's oversight responsibility.
If taxpayers want better results from Congress, they must stop paying their elected officials for failure. After all, you get what you pay for.
I do think actually in this case the government does get credit for funding some of the basic research.
Congress does investigations better than they do anything else.
Congress must demonstrate fiscal responsibility.
It's not the function of Congress to do criminal investigations.
I do not believe that Congress or the Administration should prohibit the medical community from pursuing a promising avenue of research that may improve the lives of millions of Americans.
One of the responsibilities of Congress is the power of the purse, but there is also oversight. In order to have proper oversight, you have to have agency administrators, directors, and secretaries of those agencies speak frankly and about the facts.
