America and the "Great Leap Backwards" of 2024.

It's not "shock and awe". Awe is not deserved. He is as much a thug as the lowliest J6er is.

Yeah? Do something about it losers.

This is nothing but a regurgitated Dem talking point from the Reagan era e.g. Republicans are stupid. Dems truly have nothing to run on.

It's difficult to take anything from WAPO serious

Riiiiight because borrowing and spending like lunatics wracking up $36 TRILLION in debt is intellectual. What a bunch of Demtards.

The left is 100% economic illiterates.

One wonders just how low Trump will push this anti-intellectual crusade he is on, and also in doubt is whether his poorly educated supporters can ever understand the implications of any of this.

One rule that the Trump team knows well, and is implementing as it is designed to be implemented, is the Shock Doctrine which is implemented under the cover of a natural or man made disaster, in this case the latter being the elevation of Donald Trump.

This news almost goes uncovered in light of all the other disasters getting more attention.




The Trump administration is cutting billions of dollars in biomedical research funding, alarming academic leaders who said it would imperil their universities and medical centers and drawing swift rebukes from Democrats who predicted dire consequences for scientific research.

The move, announced Friday night by the National Institutes of Health, drastically cuts the NIH’s funding for “indirect” costs related to research. These are the administrative requirements, facilities and other operations that many scientists say are essential but some Republicans have argued are superfluous.

“The United States should have the best medical research in the world,” the NIH said in its announcement. “It is accordingly vital to ensure that as many funds as possible go towards direct scientific research costs rather than administrative overhead.”

In a post on social media, NIH said the change would save more than $4 billion a year, effective immediately. The note singled out Harvard University, Yale University and Johns Hopkins University’s multibillion-dollar endowments, implying that many universities do not need the added federal funding.

The policy, essentially a massive budget cut to science and medical centers across the country, was quickly denounced as devastating by universities and research organizations.

The move could threaten research already underway and noted that their universities have a fraction of the endowments of schools such as Harvard and Yale. Industry leaders also questioned whether the move was legal.

“This is a surefire way to cripple lifesaving research and innovation,” Matt Owens, president of COGR, Council on Government Relations, an association of research institutions, academic medical centers and research institutes, wrote in an email.

Yeah, people tend to cry when their gravy train is cut off. I wonder how much these research centers are making from patents they received as a result of their government funding. If the taxpayer paid for the research, patents should belong to the treasury along with any royalties coming from that research. And no individual working for NIH should ever get a royalty from taxpayer funded research. That money is ours.

I would take my compensation in the form of arrest warrants from The Hague.
No one one should profit from gain of function research.

I see Dems are still flailing in all directions trying to find some angle of attack on Trump, FAIL. Don't you idiots get tired of failing? I know, ask Kamala to save your party

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Oh, fuck you....Grow up, you butthurt pussy.

Isn't it cute when a communist evokes the actions of a communist to try to tar Trump?

You just want to knock on his noggin and say "hey, is anybody home?"

Pol Pot targeted for death anyone with an education. If someone wore glasses, they were a threat because they could probably read.

Are we there yet?

We came close. Your side forced experimental vaccinations and got people fired for refusing. If you could had, you would had done the same as Australia and put us in gulags.

Of course your side did imprison 1600 people for peacefully protesting a stolen election. Pol Pot would be proud of you Democrats.

Money that flows from the government is usually wasted because the recipients know its free and comes with no strings and results do not matter. When investment money on the other hand comes from private sources, its usually spent much wiser because there is accountability that comes along with it.

A transition can now be made where much of this money might come from private investments, for a return of course..and those investors will require proof and accountability because THEY have something to lose unlike the government who can constantly just take it from the taxpayer.

What you will see is a belt tightening and then where there is a need.... it will become an opportunity for investment... brighter and better people will be hired to make things work and you will actually see more innovation.

So people who see this as a leap backwards have no faith in American Innovation. Trapped into one way of thinking. Get it.

Every time I read one of your OPs I take a "great leap backwards."

Maybe if government hadn't spent so much time misusing the money it had and applying it directly to where it was supposed to go, we wouldn't need to be cutting funds anywhere.

If our government were honest, none of this pain would be required.
