As Trump Cuts Science Budgets, Researchers Look Abroad. This Will Be The Death Knell Of The U.S. Economy.

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

80 million, that's a good start, I suppose you'd rather see that waste continue.. Hey we have over three and a half years left to dig into it enjoy! LOL

.

They'd rather see demoncrat money laundering continue.

You are the one making the claims not trump

No you are lying to us

Trump has tried to defend his Federal funding freeze in court, you hopeless imbecile.....and he has lost in court, so far.

If he is defending it in Federal court, then it's real!

It was one of Trump's executive orders. You really are just a pathetic troll with no game at all. --

They haven't even the cut the $80 million yet, dumb ass.

And why aren't there bigger Defense cuts in the "Big, Beautiful Bill"???

You've got nothing, lightweight....as always.

 

[Mac-7]

Why not?

Because higher taxes cannot catch up with the desire of swamp rats in washington to spend money

 

[Mac-7]

This new budget bill comes with a 4 trillion dollar debt increase simp.
The only way you can deny it is if you're living under a rock.

Again, what is your budget?

Higher taxes, much more spending ?

 

[Seymour Flops]

Your question isn't relevant to the conversation, Kleetus. It's a trolling change of topic.

No, it is just a 100% on topic question that you cannot answer without destroying your own narrative.

Obama gave $400 million to Tesla.

Obama gave money to many people, as if it were pissing away other people's hard earned wealth.

...he made it quite clear how Democrats "feel about electric cars". What more do you want???

Yeah, that was then. In case you have been sleeping since Trump got elected, the left now attacks electric cars.

Money talks, gomer. You obviously have no clue what you are saying.

Are you glad or mad that Musk got that money from Obama?

You already lost this debate, gomer.

Obama gave $400 million to Musk so that he could save Tesla from going bankrupt, remember? Of course you do.

That doesn't sound like a political party that hates electric vehicles....all you've got is your usual mindless MAGA drivel.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

Are you glad or mad that Musk got that money from Obama?

Why would I be mad? I get to watch Musk suffer now and I get to watch Tesla go bankrupt.

Thank you, President Obama!!

I'm sad that Obama gave that and so many other hundreds of millions of dollars to people who pissed it away.

WTF does a school teacher, a welder, a fast food manager or a daycare worker care if Tesla is bankrupt from making cars that no one wants? Why should they have to pay now for the money Obama borrowed to give Tesla?

The fact that enraged Democrats are attacking Teslas now, completely unaware of how strongly Obama supports Tesla, just shows that Democrats are low-information voters, not that we needed yet another example.

 

[Seymour Flops]

So, you are glad that Obama threw away four hundred million borrowed dollars and then moved to Martha's Vinyard leaving middle class Americans stuck with the loan payments.

You are a true moron.

 

[Blisterfinger]

$80 million...out of a $1 TRILLION BUDGET.

$80 million is not even 0.1% of $1 trillion. You're a joke.

And DOGE and Trump still haven't cut anything.

They diverted the funds to more important things. I am not really a fan of cutting defense funding anyway. I feel a lot safer under this Administration. MAGA

 

[Blisterfinger]

More pathetic MAGA whimpering about the .1 of 1% DoD budget cut that still hasn't happened.

Have some dignity, pathetic one.

If you would have read the article you would have seen that the millions of dollars were waste and were diverted to more important things. What is it about waste that turns you on so much ? Sounds rather stupid to me . I've already explained how MAGA is your Superior what about that don't you understand.

This will be the death knell of the most prosperous economy in the history of the world. Scientific innovation and the world's best and brightest studying at American universities is one of the biggest reasons for this country's economic prosperity. Trump is destroying all of this.

Scientists are not going to continue to work in this country under Trump's hostile regime that does not value education and scientific research. It's that simple.

From the Washington Post --

Kartik Sheth, 53, is an astrophysicist and, until a few weeks ago, was the associate chief scientist at NASA. On March 10, he got an unexpected email: “I regret to inform you that you are being affected by a [reduction-in-force] action. … Therefore, you will be separated from NASA at the close of business on April 10, 2025.”

One of 23 NASA employees laid off that day, including everyone in the Office of the Chief Scientist, Sheth is now looking for a job — anywhere. On Friday, he arrived in Paris to attend a conference and check out the environment for scientific research.

“I don’t know if I’ll find a job in America given the cuts to science,” he said. “I think we could have a pretty major brain drain in the country. … I think people are going to start to wonder if this is the place for me to continue to do science.’”

With billions of dollars in research grants eliminated or frozen by the Trump administration, scientists across America in a broad array of fields face an uncertain future and the possibility of layoffs. An untold number like Sheth are looking abroad, thinking of continuing their careers far from the turmoil here.

While it’s unclear how many will actually make the move, American scientists are being actively recruited by countries including France, Spain, Germany and China that are hoping to reverse the flow of expertise into the United States that has been the norm for decades.

“People who were certain that they were going to spend their careers in the U.S., and stay in the U.S. for the next phase, are now totally reconsidering,” said David Baker, a biochemist at the University of Washington who shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 2024.

The United States now faces a “wholesale change in mentality” across the science community as a result of President Donald Trump’s actions, he said.

In case you haven’t noticed it yet we are $36 TRILLION in debt. Only way to keep the country from going bankrupt is making cuts.

Irrelevant....not until BILLIONS of dollars stop being wasted.

I was in the Air Force for 20 years.....the amount of waste in DoD is a total ******* joke. But I don't expect a MAGA bumpkin like you to understand that.

 

[Seymour Flops]

You are the one sucking Musk's pecker every day.....and now you are upset that Obama gave Musk the $400 million.

You're the one who is happy that Obama gave him $400 Million.

Make up your mind, Kleetus.

My mind is made up that you are a true moron.

There has been a lot of waste and fraud. That is why I am very happy with what is going on right now Skippy. We have to start somewhere and we have three and a half years until president Vance continues the hard work. MAGA

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

You're the one who is happy that Obama gave him $400 Million.

Yes....Electric vehicles are a smart economic investment in the future. I'm glad Obama did it. Too bad that Musk turned out to be a deranged sociopath that morons like you admire.

My mind is made up that you are a true moron.

Why would I care what an uneducated MAGA traitor like yourself thinks?

If Trump and Musk were truly interested in getting rid of fraud, waste, and abuse, then they would start with the Dept of Defense. They could easily cut $300 billion from DoD, instead of hurting poor people by cutting Medicaid.

But they are not interested in getting rid of fraud, waste, and abuse....instead, they are looking to settle political scores against their enemies and to punish poor people and minorities.

And you are a pathetic dupe for believing their fraud, waste, and abuse bullshit.

Just answer the question if you can dumbass

I literally just did, you hopeless imbecile.

You mentally ill bumpkins actually believe this "Deep State" exists. You all are so pathetically hopeless and stupid.

 

[Blisterfinger]

Yeah....because Trump has such a brilliant track record, like he proved with covid and all his bankruptcies.

At least Trump knows that it was China that put covid on our Shores. Biden turned and looked the other way. What a shame Skippy. Tax cuts worked pretty well in his first term, let's try it again yeah!

Yeah? How about no new tax cuts for billionaires, simp?

Do you hate billionaires because they have more money than you do? How pathetic

And the "Big Beautiful Bill" increases the national debt by $3 trillion over the next 10 years....because of Trump's tax cuts for billionaires.

Trump's tax cuts worked pretty well for the economy and his first term. They will this time as well Skippy. Just watch and learn.
