The figure isn't 85% of 1.6 trillion though.

It's not close to that.

You just can't read.

This is a direct quote from that article you linked.

"In the life sciences industry, the biopharmaceutical sector accounts for 85 percent of all R&D expenditures. Battelle-R&D forecast’s the global to have a healthy recovery after a flat 2013, growing 3.1 percent to $201 billion in 2014."

See that figure there?

$201 billion.

That's how much we spend on medical r&d.

That's US industry. The US government adds another US $123 billion on top of that.

So we're still only down to US $6.6 trillion

versus your US $ 1.76 trillion

That is a 3:1 spend ratio mate. Medical + Medical R&D versus Military.

Dollar for Dollar we spend three dollars on medical to one dollar on military.


You're no where near right.

Bloody hell. Miss this thread for a day and the GOT Mafia suddenly jump out in force and attack a single member to try and back him into a corner while they have all their friends around to back them up. Reminds me of the 2008 Lcab pack that drove a decent poster away for a year or the Clique hunt of Damon that turned into bullying. pathetic really that IMO. I thought we were better than that, not just as GOTers but as Evertonians
