| Message | R&D of drugs is important to advancing medical science and increasing survival rates from serious illnesses. New drugs could also allow members of society to work, socialise, etc. even while suffering from a disease which would otherwise stop them from doing so, so it also helps the economy. |
| Date | 22:10:28, May 18, 2007 CET | From | Jakania Republican Party | To | Debating the Medicine R&D Reform Act |
| Message | Government funds in R&D on the other hand is harmful to the general economy. Why? Because the government will fund only so many R&D's and other companies will suffer because they didn't get funded. Government crowds out businesses and thus society goes backwards, unemployment happens, businesses are closed, etc. |
