I will be opposing any government handouts on either matter.  Let private companies handle this and develop it like they're already doing quite well.

and instead, considering Senator Ebowed's self-proclaimed enormous wealth

If someone who claims to have $4 trillion dollars or whatever pays for everything that the government otherwise would, what point is there having a government?

Couldn't have said it better myself.

If someone who claims to have $4 trillion dollars or whatever pays for everything that the government otherwise would, what point is there having a government?

The point of having a government is to enforce the rule of law; to protect the people's right to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness. No private entity could do such a thing. Alternatively, a private entity could make charitable donations to worthy causes.

We are now voting on the following amendment:

I motion to strike the entire text of the bill and replace it with

Stem Cell Research Funding Extension Bill

1. The federal government pledges another $25 million towards embryonic stem cell research, effective FY 2008.

Please vote Aye, Nay or Abstain.



Nay.

Nay. We can and should fund embryonic stem cell resarch and adult stem cell research. I think the funding provided for both is too low, but I can't vote on this amendment.
