We would have been well past this point in scientific discovery had Bubba Clinton not cancelled the SuperConducting Super Collider in Texas after he got elected.
Bill the Rapist apparently did it for political reasons only because Queen Ann offered to buy the SCSC from the Feds and Texas would complete its construction and operate it, but Bill refused.
So, tell me again why leftists think Bill the rapist was a great president??
Yes, the cancellation of that project was disasterous. Note well that this was done when there was a democratic Congress and democratic president.
