Tom, not sure of the point you are making, but my point is that if one country choses to eliminate funding for research and development and all of the other countries that it competes against does not, the county that chose not to fund it will soon be forced to buy all of its hight technology equipment and services from the other countries. Over time, its currency will decline and its standard of living will decline. It is much wiser to keep funding research and development and just try to get better at how you do it. JAMES T.
