I didn't say it was a good point, merely that he was making one. Usually he just pastes and then refuses to even say why.

I'd like to see a bona fide analysis for ROI on defense spending vs. NASA, STEM, NSF, NCF, NIH, etc. spending.

Both provide jobs, inventions and innovations, but I wonder who is more efficient? DoD grants and DARPA black budgets may be dwarfed by total dedicated science spending. I have no idea. NSF gets about a billion dollars a year. Much of that is devoted to the war on cancer. The pentagon gets 600 billion a year, but I don't think much of it is devoted to research grants and thus patent applications. And if one separated internal and exogenous research you'd probably find parity between them since both our outsourced to our university system for the most part.

So the point of this post is to tell everyone here to go work for Navistar Defense because they've got a lucrative contract?
