Nancy Pelosi joins the ranks of Al Gore, who invented the Internet, Elizabeth 'there-is-nobody-in-this-country-who-got-rich-on-their-own Warren and Barry you-didnt-build-that-yourself Obama. She is now officially one of the illuminati who knows for sure that only the Government invents stuff (thanks to your individual involuntary contributions to the Federal Treasury).
See this iPhone? Federal research invented it. Not to denigrate Steve Jobs role she noted that he did a good idea designing it and putting it together.
So, got that, Steve Jobs? You did a good idea butt all your technology are belong to us.

It is far more likely that the government created roadblocks to the invention of the iPhone. Nearly any businessperson can tell you about numerous times when the government caused them delays and extra costs due to excessive regulations. Very few business people can tell you about the government helping them. (Ok, Solyndra. But I’m talking about successful businesses, not welfare programs for government cronies.)
Why give the government CREDIT for the good things, without them accepting the blame for the bad things as well?!?!
Thanks to Swordmaker for the ping!!
