They've already got boner pills, so they ...Hmm. They've already got boner pills, so they don't need those. I suspect that this is one more way of funneling money to giant corps. There's been a recent move to identify big corporations that have, for instance, violated SBA rules for low-cost loans, and the various research arms of the government have been notoriously lax in enforcing the rules on SBIR grants. So, my guess is that this is a way of keeping Treasury cash moving to those who pay the election bills. <br /><br />Why, if ExxonMobil thinks environmentalism is bad for its business, why shouldn't the government pay it for the research that refutes the EPA's research? If Monsanto wants to sell more glyphosate (or Dow wants to sell Agent Orange to American farmers), why shouldn't the government pay for the research to enable that? If the Xtian right thinks that all they have to do to prove Genesis is to find a few dinosaur saddles, why shouldn't the Treasury hand over a few million to find them (and none of that icky carbon-dating stuff to interfere with the results)?<br /><br />It's bad enough that 65% of all research today goes to the military in one way or another. This will ensure that the rest won't go to anything that threatens the profits of the fatcats.<br /><br />Montaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531503205815503135noreply@blogger.com
