Gov't funding of science

Reader comment on: Privately Funded Medical Research Breakthrough

Submitted by Harry Binswanger (United States), Apr 12, 2013 16:48

"I'm not saying that the federal government should eliminate all medical or scientific research funding."

Yeah, Ira, leave that to us Objectivists.

Government funding of science is anti-science. Climategate is the latest demonstration. In addition, it's utterly immoral--the seizure of funds by force cannot be justified by "a noble purpose." It can't be justified at all.
