proximal2u rated 8 weeks ago- Research!America's signature Research Takes Cents compare selected American leisure spending to the costs associated with conducting research. Low levels of research funding are not a result of the money not being available - it's just spent elsewhere. Ringtones: Americans are expected to spend $550 million for ringtones in 2007. This could fund the entire budget for the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders for more than a year! Fragrances: The women's fragrance industry was estimated at $4.2 billion in 2006. That would fund asthma research at the National Institutes of Health for nearly 15 years! Convenience Stores: Americans spent nearly $163 billion on non-fuel items in convenience stores in 2006. That would fund the National Institutes of Health for more than five years! Think America
