>>But I did not hear him claiming credit for any and all progress on spinal cord injuries, in particular. As I wrote earlier, I do not think the following sentence constitutes such a claim: "It is important for all Americans to recognize that your tax dollars have fuelled this research." U.S. funding of medical research did not begin with Clinton, after all. His point, I thought, was that he wants to step it up. << Joan, Was he referring to "corporate welfare" in this statement? bp

Well, if you had used the ACTUAL text, I would be happy to show you what he said and the context. But, of course, you didn't. And as long as we're nitpicking about the word "could" or whether I implied present or future tense, perhaps you could dispel what I stated with real proof, since you started this little dispute. I never actually quoted Clinton at all, as you allege. I admit that he was talking about microchips, not fusing - my mistake. But the context still stands. He was disingenuously taking credit for present and future medical advances in spinal cord injuries.
