re: #272 Aceofwhat?
it is a wasteful application of stimulus funds. it may very well be an excellent project, deserving of grants and funds through normal channels designed to fund such projects.
what is your experience with basic, government-funded science research?
My wife is a research scientist, I worked as a grant-writer for a number of years, and a good friend is a chemist at DOW who interfaces with academic researchers in order to exploit the basic science breakthroughs.
I don’t see why spending money to provide researchers with jobs is a waste of stimulus funds— can you explain?
