[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1395778, member: 24694"] I also looked up funding for medical research. On a quantitative basis, spending in 2012 was: 50 billion public 70 billion private. This is for only one year? And for medical research only? Government spending on science studies goes way beyond the medical field. That's very excessive and a big if not total waste of taxpayers dollars. IMO The $70,000,000,000.00 dollars that that was spent in the private sector will reap benefits for those companies for along time. Drug prices and technology fees are very high and quite excessive IMO. But I have the choice of spending my money on those products if I choose to. I fully support private funding for scientific studies of all kinds, we need it. But the government has no right to waste our money on R&D with out of controlled spending. Even with our new POTUS, private business will lead the way and always get the most bang for their buck. [/QUOTE]
