The seeds of innovation has been our own federal government

Its been and will be the people,the Gov.is just a tool,and lately not that useful.

Chickenwing, who never desigened anything and might only have a GED

is correct?

Funny, the right wing would never listen to an "expert". Mike Rainone is an "expert". His article is so one the money. Instead, they have "gut feeling" and "common sense". If it doesn't fit in their ideology, it must be a lie. No wonder they live in fear.

The government could fuck up a wet-dream.

Maybe you might want to watch The Pentagon Wars.

I remember the communications van I worked on in the Army. They took out a small computer that came with it and stuffed an Air Defense Artillery computer that took up half of the passenger side wall merely because they felt it would save costs. It ended up costing more because it was so fragile they had to invent testing equipment that went to the field with the Signal units.

I could name numerous examples of how Congress costs billions of extra dollars just with their short-sighted rules and regulations. And don't get me started on Milspec requirements.

IMHO, the best investment this country could make at this time is in it's infrastructure. We should make some major cuts in spending and sink most of it into rebuilding the nation's infrastructural. It will create millions of private sector jobs and with it increased tax revenues. Once the projects are complete, the tax should expire, which would provide another bump for the economy.

The benefits will last long after the projects are completed. Faster and safer roads and trains are a positive benefit for almost every segment of American business.

Spinoff :: Nasa Tech Briefs

Spinoff is NASA's annual premier publication featuring successfully commercialized NASA technology. For more than 40 years, the NASA Innovative Partnerships Program has facilitated the transfer of NASA technology to the private sector, benefiting global competition and the economy. The resulting commercialization has contributed to the development of commercial products and services in the fields of health and medicine, industry, consumer goods, transportation, public safety, computer technology, and environmental resources. Since 1976, Spinoff has featured between 40 and 50 of these commercial products annually.

Government can work. NASA proves that. All those Democratic scientists. At least they don't worship at the "alter of fool".

The cost is not the reason for the spending..... Somebody's making money!

The common thread over the past 70 years has been the federal government; for everything from the incentivizing and funding of technical education, to the winning of WWII, to the space race, to the domination of the Soviet Union through our technical prowess, to the residual economic strength in our manufacturing after WWII, to the explosive growth of the defense industry in terms of capability and innovation, to the seeding of innovation through DARPA, NASA, and NIH. Like it or not, the infrastructure that provided the fertile ground for the seeds of innovation to be planted has been our own federal government’s investment in us.

Correct.

It has been the successful conjoining of the public and private sectors, each drawing on the other’s strength, which has allowed a great Nation to be greater. A pragmatic approach, predicated on facts, not dogma, is the foundation of America’s success.

Globally, when you examine the rise of Germany, Korea, Japan, China, and other dominant economies, you find central governments pouring money into research, subsidizing industry, and otherwise providing the impetus for industry to innovate and create jobs.

Take for example the German domination of precision engineering and manufacturing, their domination of the machine tools industry, including lasers, and until recently their domination of solar cell development and manufacturing (China has now seized top spot in solar cell innovation and production due to their government intervention). These things did not come about because their federal government sat idly by and waited for a VC to create the industry.

In Korea, the Daewoo Group did not come to dominate the world of shipbuilding and other heavy manufacturing, nor did LG become a major player, without the active participation of the Korean government.

How much of Japan’s technological strength comes from MITI, their Ministry of Industry and Technology? They came to dominate television production, consumer electronics, and a host of other industries, including automobiles, through the direct intervention of the Japanese government.

The economic policies of the Chinese government, by suppressing internal demand and emphasizing exports, have built the largest creditor nation in history. Meanwhile, government investment in innovation, education, and manufacturing are making China the greatest economic threat we have ever faced.

Wow, you found someone as stupid as you are.

Tell me something, what did the federal government have to do with the development of the PC?

How much benefit did Gates get from DARPA?

How much of Google's technical prowess came about through government intervention?

Here is something that a lot of people are missing in talking about the lack of innovation currently, the easy stuff is done. The same thing happened before, and some people went as far as to say that science had found everything worth knowing. They were wrong then, and everyone that thinks they know what is happening now will end up with just as much egg on their faces in a century or so.

Agreed. Ass-U-Me-ing we start with fair taxes and a budget balanced by law and then build a government that leads Momma's little bastards to the stars.

He is not an expert in this, he runs a small company that is supposed to help people innovate. Could it be possible that he actually wants to get money form the government?

Wanna bet those "short sighted rules and regulations" came from Republicans who trying to save money to give millionaires another tax break?

The government is made up of other Americans. It's the uneducated Americans ruled through a failed ideology of "me for me" that's the problem.

Gates dropped out of college. So did Steve Jobs. How much government support did they need to totally change the face of the entire world?

Small as in the SBA definition of small. Being a service business that means they can make up to $21.5 million a year. I know that makes them evil and that you think they should pay higher taxes, but you are the one with the consistency problem, not me.

I don't understand why right wing puts down the thousands of government and NASA developed patents that the US will sell or will license to earn this country billions and billions of dollars.

They hate government so bad they want us to be a third world country? Who rules third world countries? Dictators.
