Based on your extensive knowledge of the research process?
Even under the more negative assessments, you'll still be getting 70% of the payouts otherwise earned, which is considerably more than "won't see a dime".
Before Social Security, the poorest group in the country were the elderly.
Depending on your view. I don't cry myself to sleep every night worried that there is no opportunity so government should force someone else to create a job for me with the salary I deem appropriate. That's not healthy.
I also chose not to stay in a job appropriate for high schoolers and retirees for an entire career. And yes, that is a self-important thought but I call it a drive to excell. That is healthy.
And for the record, again, if there aren't enough jobs for labor to be in demand then I fully support government jobs programs that generally benefit everyone. I have absolutely no qualms with printing money and building useable stuff that we by-and-large decide is an appropriate area for governmental control. So you can take that no jobs you're cold hearted crying and blame it on someone else.
I prefered government putting people to work rather than giving these stupid and meaningless temporary tax breaks that do nothing but enrich the wealthy. I would rather see labor in demand so I would have been getting raises over the last couple of years rather than inflation caused by government transfer payment driven consumption growth and ongoing wage cuts.
Nope. Because I'm a big fan of science and research, and I applaud those who have the drive and the brains to work in that industry. Before I realized that I was too damn dumb/lazy, I wanted to be a scientist.
I am very pro scientific research. I just think that if it is going to be funded with tax payer dollars it should be on things like direct medical research.
@Green I think the taxing of Social Security should be stopped. Now for the wealthier it is taxed but for the poorer people it is not. Below is a link on how it works.

Warren Buffet's secretary was at the State of the Union speech? Man, this is going to be a long year.
For some reason, I saw the plus as a minus. Sorry for the misunderstanding, my fault entirely.
That's not good enough. All the universe is connected, and less generally all living things are connected. Limiting ourselves to purely medical research will eventually lead down more and blind alleys.

Yep yep!
Did anyone happen to ask the daughter of the dirtiest democrat in America exactly how much her father stands to profit from the Keystone decision? It's not enough that his rail transport is much more environmentally hazardous than this pipeline would ever be, but he's raising the transportation costs charged to the middle class and poor.
I'm so glad Obama is looking out for the environment and us little guys. He has got to go.

Yes... And be replaced by Newt?
Doctor to patient: Congrats! Your wart has gone away!
Patient: Yay!
Doctor: Yep! The wart has been eaten by the Cancer that has now taken over your entire leg!
If you thought things were bad under Obama and Bush.... Wait until Newt.
As Jon Stewart said... "Newt is now claiming he isn't part of the establishment.... HUH?????????? Newt is thee establishment! He's the insider to Washington's insides!"
