[quote=Dukehorn]I’m talking about the “no research at all” on hESC cells platform that the Republicans adopted at their National Convention (on top of existing regs).
It’s not always about money. That’s my beef with your post. The fact that most of my collaboration deals are with foreign universities should be a wake-up call that the biotech industry is getting screwed here and a portion of it will go overseas.
But who cares about research or the environment when all you worry about is the size of your retirement fund, right?
And if was about spend, spend, spend, why in the hell weren’t you complaining when the SEC budget gets cut. Surprise, no regulatory enforcement, what happens?
Why aren’t you complaining when legislation is passed stating that corporations will self-regulate themselves on SEC and EPA matters? You believe that criminals do self-report?
The bail-out isn’t the problem, we all know that, so if you’re going to be the type that blames it on Jimmy Carter, let’s take a step back and really look at Phil Gramm.[/quote]
It’s isn’t always about the money, but this time it is. How is the extra taxes going to be spent? I haven’t seen anything compelling to indicates differently, if at all just more spending. Sure, give more money to “the middle class”. How are they going to spend it? Buy more goods from walmart and send it overseas? Yeah, that’s going to benefit society. Show me a social program and a definite financial plan to back that social program exclusively, sure I’m on board. But you know and I know that that’s not gonna happen.
Politicians are all the same. They’re all paid and bought for. The best government is the one in capable of deciding how to spend pork.
