A top science question the candidates for president should answer is:

What role do you see gov. research and development playing in helping to secure American competitiveness and a healthy economy?

I would like candidates to demonstrate an awareness that what has helped keep America competitive in the world economy is the historical and continued commitment to publically funded science research and development. Public money in this area goes towards the betterment of all Americans and, through economic osmosis, the entire world. Investment now will reap rewards far into the future.
