Texas Scientists Regret Loss of Higgs Boson Quest (July 4, 2012

[lurk]

Killing spending that isn’t in the Constitution is a good thing. 90% of our spending needs killing.

Bill Clinton is a self-serving.....fill in the blank, but we should be grateful any time something is cut.

[The Free Engineer]

Well thank you Bill Clinton.

Thank you for killing an $11 Billion welfare project for engineers and cement and construction contractors. No doubt the final tab would have been $40 Billion.

President Clinton did the right thing in this case.

[GraceG]

And no one in the media called Clintoon a Anti-science creationist knuckle dragging Neaderthal...

[outinyellowdogcountry]

I always thought he killed it because it was in Texas. What a waste of time and resources but maybe the new research of the same sort was better? Where did they finally do that research?

[SpaceBar]

Peter Higgs already did it 48 years ago with pencil and paper. Let the EU blow treasure creating obscenely expensive bubble tracks through liquid hydrogen.

[eclecticEel]

One of the few good things that he did.

[Monty22002]

Ah, the anti-science types just love this stuff. It’s a national shame that some conservatives are too uncaring to spend a pitance on keeping the USA as a scientific leader.

Clinton only killed the program in anger upon discovering that he had mistakenly assumed the search was for Higgs' Bosom.
