>> "Basic research often is combined with other research efforts and turns into bigger things." Well, I'm glad to know ducks may end up with bigger dicks for our stimulus money. Seriously, how can this even REMOTELY be classified as "fiscal stimulus"? This is what these economic numbskulls like CJ and tejek don't get. That same $385,000 left in the hands of taxpayers would have been spent creating productivity -- buying goods and services, or investing, either of which would have had a true "multiplier effect" associated with it. Instead, it was flitted away on consumption that had no real net economic benefit associated with it. This story was repeated thousands of times over in that trillion dollar fraud.
