Actually, science does pretty well under conservative governments
that are willing to spend into deficit, if Reagan can be used as an
example, but Bush isn't doing very good things for science at all.

I would argue that hard sciences like physics did well under Reagan,
less popular sciences such as environmental sciences fared poorly.

Less popular? Your fellow pointy-heads in Maine are all adither over
the latest hotbutton topics in theoretical physics, are they?

Imbecile.

What exactly about my statement escapes you? Other than the obvious, all
of it. *insert rolling eyes here*

It is a fact that Reagan spent plenty on physics in order to achieve star
wars, while he made no bones about cutting research into alternative
fuels and other environmentally friendly sciences. The fact is that
Reagan dismantled Carter's proposed alternative fuels program as fast as
he could.

Are you so blinded by your dislike of me that you cannot even see that
simple fact? Imbecile indeed.
