A nickel here a billion there


And they would have the benefit of the Big Ten's Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), which claims to receive 12 percent of all federal research funds for its members, totaling $3.5 billion in 2006-07.

Now that means that the grand total is about $29.25 billion.

And we got what for this money?

No one can figure out how to cap the oil leak. No one can provide us with a cheap substitute for gasoline. No one has a cancer cure...

Heck, outside of getting immediately drunk again they can't even find a hangover cure.

Yet we are spending $100. per person each and every year on research.

I'm serious. Somebody tell me what we're buying with all this federal money being dumped on the universities. I mean besides scare papers on the man made global warming hoax designed to get more money next year.

I think we should just stick it up a pigs butt and yell "Soooey!"

Wait. To a great extent that's what we have done.
