This would just add yet another agency to the NIH, and nobody would be able to figure out its mission or its authority separate from all the other agencies within the NIH. For each of the targeted diseases, there would just be a separate program within the Center for Cures, and how exactly would that be different from what we have now in the NIH?
Another reason to dislike the DLC, and why Lieberman is in reality a Republican.

Wrong. If Lieberman were really a Republican, this would only be the first step, to be followed by not providing funding for any of the programs and then holding up the failure of the programs to find a cure as an example of governmental waste. Additionally, there must be threats to kill the entire NIH if any of its studies tend to show any link between a disease and any pollutant or use of a product. Money will instead go to the National Academy of Sciences specifically earmarked to fund a multi-year study to prove that intelligent design is in fact correct. Upon the completion of this study, the NAS will also be disbanded.
