I believe the research that this country needs and or wants can be funded by the private sector. This can be done by fund raising within a University or a Private Sector PE based business.

As long as these types of funding continue to come out of the Federal Government, you will have, and should have the scrutiny you've seen the last three weeks.

Also, do you consider the blowtorch approach Musk and his acolytes are taking to be "slow but sure change?" Doesn't seem very slow from here.

What we've seen isn't "scrutiny." A lot of folks, including myself, welcome scrutiny.

What we've seen is Ready, Fire, Aim. There's been no good-faith scrutiny. It's just breaking a bunch of **** because you can (or at least, Musk and Trump think they can; courts will likely disabuse them of some of that notion.)

The blowtorch is the deconstruction of the administrative state. Yes, I 100% support it! It's long overdue…

This kind of reaction is what will stop, or at least slow down, Elon and his kids. It seems likely that the cuts will hurt red states more because they take in proportionally more government funding than blue states

Is the psyop that powerful? People are literally cheering for corruption just because the anti-corruptors happen to be Elon/Trump? It's hard to understand. Even if you hate them -- if the fraud is provably fraud, and it goes away, isn't that a good thing?

At least you admit you're hoping for bad things to happen. That's a step in the right direction to admitting you have a problem. Perhaps, you should be "curious" about that.

---

no, I don't live in this fantasy world that Trump will fix everything. Remember when in 2016 he was going to end Fentanyl? Fentanyl deaths rose 44% from 2016-2020.

I don't want bad things to happen, I'm just a realist who knows that bad things happen with good intentions.

So.....

This is bad right?

What are they doing?

Who is funding it?

I could have applied for a grant to research homosexuality in prison and the effect condoms have on chickens and gotten approved.

Open honesty seems to bother the left and Pinocchio.....

As soon as the receipts are shown it gets obvious.

---

You're showing your ignorance again.

Clearly you don't know any major research university professors that actually rely on the incredibly challenging and competitive grant process
to fund their research labs.

---

I happen to support the whole idea of stopping "all" federal grants to universities. It's time the Universities start going to the donators to support their research. Each university that wants to be in the research game, well.. go raise the money.

Now, for a two for one… the money that the University raises, they can decide to spend it on research or sports. It's their call. What does your University want to be?

---

Respectfully Cary, that's preposterous given the net benefit to our economy and society of investing in high-level medical, tech, and science research, and also given there isn't a developed nation in the world whose government doesn't heavily invest in research. 30%-40% of research around the world is funded by governments.

The right has got to stop forming their opinions of the efficacy or prudence of government institutions and activities based on edge cases that aren't true indicators of value.

Observing the last three weeks, the most frustrating thing is that there is zero indication that there is any actual analysis of value proposition of funding that's getting cut.

Scientific research, consumer protection, and targeted, non-military, humanitarian, and strategic interventions like USAID are some of the highest-ROI activities our government undertakes.

Taking a sledgehammer to research funding, USAID, and the CFPB is colossally shortsighted, stupid, and completely lacking in any sort of underlying thoughtful economic cost/benefit analysis.

---

These guys aren't doing any "analysis". They don't understand the limits of the private sector and everything that would have never been invented or accomplished without collective effort. They clearly don't comprehend what made us a super power in the first place.

This is 100% just a large number of small minded people who want revenge. For being the most successful country on Earth, I guess. It must be intolerable. We must burn it all down.

All the spending is in Social Security, Medicare, Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Debt Service. But 4 out of those 5 aren't goi g to be touched, which makes debt service worse.

So, cutting 1% of the Federal Budget, while anything is better than nothing I suppose, doesn't really move the needle for me because we're still not doing anything serious. All of these cuts are not because of fiscal responsibility.

Eliminate 100% of those and let's see how solvent Social Security really is. I'll bet it far more solvent that we are being told. Use the money for its intention.
