re: #275 Obdicut

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?

Super. I logged over 500 as a lab assistant at University Hospitals in Cleveland.

Do you really need me to explain why not all research is critical enough to deserve stimulus funds? If so, your inability to answer that question without my assistance is, in itself, an answer of sorts.
