This is such a misinformed comment that I feel the need to respond. Are you honestly trying to say that government funded R&D is not worth doing? Honestly, I think it's a worthy endeavour for society to accrue knowledge independent of whether anyone's making money off it, and making profit should not be the be all, end all of society. That said, if I had a great idea for a product that I knew millions would buy, your post implies there'd be a problem with the government investing in it. Maybe they might make some money off it and be able to lower your taxes so you don't complain as much.
Oh... I can't resist. How about 'The War on Drugs'? Or the 'The War on Terror'? Or even 'The War on Crime'. Maybe they could all just be rolled up into 'The War on Anyone Who Disagrees with Fox News'.
Just for future reference as well, making more posts with the same arguments that have already been addressed doesn't increase their validity.
