Well gee, why not? North Carolina is about to start spending quite literally an unlimited amount of money for biotechnology research. They want $29,000,000.00 per year forever. Why? Well, because they're government and Democrats and academics in government only one thing: more money to spend.

Is there any evidence that this new biotechnology institute will produce anything useful? Well, no, actually. Sure, there's value to biotechnology research, but why should government be the only one to do it? If there's actual, real value to this sort of research, you can rest assured that private individuals will be more than happy to conduct the research at ZERO cost to the taxpayer. But again, it's Democrats and academics, so zero to government is BAD in their minds.

Don't complain, just work harder. Remember, the NC government that is about to spend this money every year FOREVER is already in the hole over a billion dollars for this year's budget. Gee, what's another $20-30 million? They'll just raise taxes one more time.
