Hillary Clinton is going to cure Alzheimer’s.

That won’t help her remember where she memory-holed her emails, of course, or just why we invaded Libya. But it will forward the illusion that government, empowered with your money, has the godlike ability to end disease — as though scientists have been waiting around for decades for taxpayer largesse to help out. Now that Hillary’s going to dump a pile of your money on the table, we’ll get this whole Alzheimer’s thing figured out forthwith!

CNN reports that Hillary wants to spend $2 billion per year on Alzheimer’s research — she says she’ll cure the disease by 2025, which seems rather arbitrary. Why not do it by tomorrow, or the day after?

This is usual fare for Democrats, though. They’re actual snake oil salesmen.

In 2004, Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards pledged to cure Christopher Reeves’ paralysis: “If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk, get up out of that wheelchair and walk again.” Just a few weeks ago, vice president Joe Biden called for a “moon shot in this country to cure cancer.” Biden said we could do it, but only by confiscating wealth from private Americans to hand to the World’s Best Scientists™.
