Sad eh?Aren't you the ones who claims that no R&D would get done without the government doing it?
40% of it is done by the government. I never said that businesses don't play a role in r&d...That would be flat out wrong.
Right, the government does research to see how fast a shrimp can run on a treadmill.
Lol,
The government maintains 99% of our meteorological infrastructure, USGS, CDC, FDA and EPA that makes sure we have clean air, water and food.
The government invests tens of billions into lab science in our colleges which allows our college system to be the best on earth...This wouldn't happen without it, no fucking way.
You bitch about Obama attempting to destroy America's leadership in the world but what do you do? You fight to do exactly what you accuse him of doing.
One fantastic use of the tool called 'government' is obtaining, verifying and maintaining information data bases.
Education and the R&D that is naturally driven by quality education should be at the top of our communal investment list.
The last place you want to go for a "quality education" is the government.
Imagine the world if that tool were to be used even a little more effectively.
*sigh*
