Say, 2pid, can you list any technologies that have come as a result of
government investment in research? I can list a bunch. LoL.

Velcro?

No, but satellites, microwaves, radar, GPS, the Internet and now a
potential solution to lower AIDS rates in cultures where wearing a
condom isn't likely to happen come to mind.

The first fove of those 6 were MILITARY, are you for more MILITARY
spending?

Duh.

"During a speech at Tuskegee University, President (and iPod user)
George W. Bush told his audience, "the government funded research in
microdrive storage, electrochemistry and signal compression."

And a lot of other things. Research at virtually every research
university is funded by the government at one level or another.

No, you aren't, you liberal left ****.

Duh. What will $100 billion in aircraft carriers do for us, dummy?
Give us the "next generation" of propellor? What has the F-22 given
us, besides a plane that functions only 62% of the time, has no known
adversary, and cannot fly with any stability without assistance from
computers? Did you know if a chip goes out that plane will "land" like
a lawn dart?

Say, Bratzi, 2pid's afraid to answer this one: where would you cut
defense spending?

A follow-on: do you have rabies?
