There is a healthy discussion on the FuturePundit blog regarding Bush administration's medical research budgetfreeze.

Where is the federal money getting channeled to? Bio-defense reasearch.

New England's security and defense sector would reap billions of dollars under President Bush's latest budget proposal, while the region's biotechnology industry would benefit from an infusion of federal research dollars, according to administration documents and local industry officials.

The National Institutes of Health's proposed $28.4 billion budget would include $1.9 billion for bio-defense research, including $160 million for advanced development of medical countermeasures against bio-terrorism, according to the documents.

Local officials are already excited with the pending infusion of funds. Locals don't see to be too elated, however, at having Level 4 federal biodefense laboratories operating in their midst.
