How sweet is it to be the government? Answer: FREAKING SWEET! Don’t have the money to do what you want? Who cares?!? Just do it anyway!

Trenton, NJ (LifeNews.com) — New Jersey voters made their views clear this week on forcing taxpayers to fund embryonic stem cell research and human cloning. They voted 53 to 47 against a measure that would have made state voters spend $450 million over 10 years for research that has never succeeded in animals, yet alone helped humans.Yet lawmakers say they are proceeding with building stem cell research centers financed by a bill the state legislature approved, despite what voters said.

Gov. Jon Corzine, who was rebuked after spending hundreds of thousands of his own money on the failed ballot proposal, said Wednesday that he understands the state’s fiscal house needs fixing before more research can be financed.

“I believe there are enough dollars for research,” Corzine told the Gannett State Bureau. “And I believe there are opportunities to share with the private sector these facilities, and our universities as well, that will make this viable as we go forward.”

The state legislature is moving ahead with borrowing the money it already authorized for the buildings but that has opponents of the ballot measure worried.

“They’re just going to do an end-run around the voter and the voters of New Jersey need to keep informed about these developments,” New Jersey Right to Life director Marie Tasy said.

Talk about a set of nuts!

Par for the course for liberals. No money? No problem! Build it anyway. They’ll just pull more money off that magic “Money Tree” they have growing out back behind the capitol.

It is important to note that the Embryonic Stem Cell Research crowd one again trotted out Michael J. Fox once again to promote their agenda. And it didn’t work.

On a side note to Stem Cell Researchers, when my daughter Charlotte was born a couple months back we had her cord blood collected and frozen. There were over a billion stem cells collected which was an amazing number according to the collection bank. I’d be more than willing to sell say 500,000 million of them for you to do research on for about $300k.
