Political Factoid

Most of the high-tech sector's
innovation, job growth, and
prosperity came about only
because of the basic research*
funded by DARPA, DOE, and
other government agencies.
 
The government is no longer providing
that level of basic* research.

 
* And private industry is only
interested in "applied" research
with prospects for short-term profits.
