The statement in this thread was intended to point out an issue created by war funding....in that as a counrty we cannot support the "extra" programs that tend to benefit the population as a whole, and may to some seem unrequired due to what I see as shortsighted thinking. Dragging well established Gov't programs that are unfortunately a part of this society because of poverty into this discussion is simply a tactic used to avoid the actual thread direction intended.
Is it a good Idea to trade science for War?...because thats what it comes down to.
