[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MAGA- please explain to me why you are against science research?  I’m so confused by this. Do you never intend to use any products that were developed via scientific research or never go to a doctor?[/quote]

Democrats have turned science into political science.

If you don't see it, you don't see it.[/quote]

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.  Government is definitely not perfect but it does do (or did) some GREAT things, like funding novel scientific research that private corporations won't touch because that baseline research is almost never profitable.

One thing the feds could clean up is not having political appointees so deep down in government.  Leave them at the top. Let merit staff manage the rest. [/quote]

Politicizing science means government is not perfect?  That's your defense?

Maybe you need to switch the term government with the DNC.

We're seriously infested with leftist ideology.  RIp it out, root and branch.

No, we are not infested.  And it's not a defense.   It's a rational observation based on decades of personal experience.  My son with type 1 diabetes benefits from the continuous glucose monitor patch he wears and monitor on from an app on his phone. The very early research on whether enzyme based electrodes could measure glucose levels was funded by the federal government, back in the 60s and the 70s. Private companies like Abbott and Dexcom took the research after certain breakthroughs were made and developed the commercial product we use today.  They profit from federal research foundational funding.

By killing research funding, we've set research back by decades.  Maybe my son could have grown up to just take one pill a day that stops the auto immune attack on his pancreas.  How amazing would that be?  Especially for kids born 30 years from now, who wouldn't have to have needles stuck into them with the Omnipod, especially during sports.  Don't get me wrong, the Omnipod is amazing.  So much better than what was available when I was a kid.

And that's just it.  We were making great advances in many different things over the years.  No longer. We will rely on research in other nations, but they are not funded as well as we were.  So much for American exceptionalism.[/quote]

We're not well funded.  We have a national debt of $110,000 for every person in the country. *

We're borrowing or creating out of thin-air, 50 cents of every dollar that the government spends, at our present rate.

Every dollar created brings on more inflation. Sorry to tell you, but we're out of runway.

Let private industry do the research and pay for it.

That’s not how inflation works.[/quote]

“The reason we have homelessness today is because we have a Federal Reserve bank — it’s a criminal organization,” he said. “Look how homelessness is exploding. People can’t afford homes.”

Kiyosaki argued that by printing fiat currency, the Federal Reserve fuels price increases that make everyday life harder for ordinary Americans.

“When you print fake money, which this stuff is, you make life harder on people,” he said, holding up two U.S. dollar bills.

He went on to explain that money printing disproportionately benefits asset owners at the expense of the poor and middle class.

“So if you own a house and you print money, you feel, oh, the price of my house went up. But the average person sees the price of chicken and eggs and yogurt goes up and — and inflation wipes them out.”
