Since there is no ROI, they have pretty much discontinued their investing. From what I have been told, drug research in the US has pretty much come to a standstill while they wait to see what Obama does next.

Anyway you are completely full of shit. I have several friends who work in pharma in Silicon Valley and they are doling out loyalty bonuses and perks like never before because the headhunting is at an all time high.
I call shenanigans.
A close personal friend was offered a $50k retention bonus and an ownership stake in the r&d company he works for. The don't do that shit if the money isn't flowing.
