Fewer Government Grants == less innovation.

Why do I say this?

The race to the moon.

Private companies had very little to gain by sending a person to the moon.

I wasn't talking about government programs like going to the moon. I think a severe overload of politics has invaded scietific research becsue of all the government grant money.

As far as peer review, again, instruct me how the system has been preventing new ideas from coming to fruition? If an idea is powerful enough, those who opposed it look like buffoons. Let time do its work.

I'm sorry, but I cannot tolerate all the garbage and extraneous journals in the meantime. Look at the lifetime of string theory!!
