I am inclined to support the Black Caucus budget because the Black Caucus budget is the only one that has a forward look about it on the funding for NIH, the National Institutes of Health. Why do I say that? ... the budget that is presented by the Black Caucus maintains the President's proposals for funding for NIH but then allows a flexibility therein to do expansion of that budget for some inflationary or other purposes.
