Research costs money. Research pays off.
Yet you won't bat an eye at spending half a million dollars on a missle.

What Detroitnerd said.
Yes, I obviously realize this. My question is, if they cant afford to bring in the revenue to fund the research then cancel the research and keep the education going. Of course the research CAN bring benifits to society but in hard times you cant keep spending. Operate like any business would and cut the areas not making money.
