Europe Lags In R & D

EU Serf at The Road to Euro Serfdom has posted a small piece on R&D in the EU that is worth a look. The key point that he makes is well worth repeating here:

....when Socialism fails, socialists claim that the dose wasn’t high enough.

Never have truer words been spoken. It's like an addiction. The more money spent on social programs that don't work, the higher the tolerence. The higher the tolerence, the more it takes to satisfy. Just like any other drug.
