This budget is like everything else he has done. Keeping his stupid promise to his ignorant supporters while pushing forth policies that are not only bad for the country but also unrealistic and unreasonable.
I still haven't heard why that 10% increase came about. Our military budget is already larger than everyone else's combined. How was that 10% derived?
I don't know but he has talked about increasing the Navy and increasing nuclear firepower. Those are not cheap things.
Silly boy, you looking for merit out of this joke of a president? Let me know when he does ANYTHING based on merit.
So is foodstamps, welfare and other govt giveaways that have given the lower class people a reason to stay home, impregnate girls and start movements like BLM.
Let big Pharma pay for the research, they are the ones going to keep the profits. That's the incentive they need to keep looking. I don't mind some govt funding, just not hand over fist.
Doesn't work that way. Things like human genome project paved the way for thousands of medical molecular patents by Big Pharma. But without NIH, human genome project would never happen. Cutting this budget is a grave mistake.
Good plan. We have a Baby Boomer problem and an overpopulation problem. If promised to add in Death Panels with this plan, I'd knock on doors for him to help sell it. Need to thin the herd.
It's a good round number. Easy math. C'mon, man. Who cares? Spend and build, works for me!! Loving me some FedBizOps these days.
Lol at Bru liking every post in opposition to me. What a sad little man he is.
Clearly increasing the military budget proves he is in cahoots with the Russians. No need to return to a multi-theater philosophy with the dramatic increase in military spending by Russia and China.
How many have era;;participated in 'supported" research programs? How many will be honest and acknowledge that a lot of the money spent added nothing to the knowledge base ? How many will abandon their spin motive and admit that a cut does, in no way, equal elimination? How many just want any excuse to spin any story so as to make DT look bad? Wgy not just grow up and give the man a real chance to improve that which most have been complaining about for years or decades?
Like losing loved ones to cancer? Heart disease? Watching children disease rates increase steadily? How is it spin to want a portion of my tax revenue spent on seeking cures? How is it spin to say that if MORE money goes into funding, the result might be better? The right believes the same thing.....with defense, with the war on drugs, border protection, economic stimulation, and Christian values.
Care to elaborate how quality of education is enhanced? The prof doing the research gains, but the students assigned to the profs class loses while the prof is away from classroom to do research.
Nice discourse, but you avoided the tenants of my post (questions)? I (nor anyone else that I see) advocate eliminating research funding/ I have been there and know that a lot of the money so allocated is not leading to knowledge advancement. Some of the studies could be eliminated and no one would really notice (except for a very, very small fringe group of folks). even in the areas we all might consider valued there is a lot of research funding that goes to folks who do nearly nothing creative or inventive and, probably, should not be part of a research program. Many faculty use research funding to support them and allow them to avoid (or at least diminish) their teaching duties. Students attend a certain University because of the 'renowned' faculty and ,yet, these folks never interact with those students. The hired help (grad students) carry on the teaching (such that it is in many cases) and ale do little in the away of meaning investigation to earn the stipend they derive from the research grants. Much money could be, and should be, saved and directed toward meaningful production. This is what I said, and you avoided anything close to an intelligent discussion of these facts. You went off to the infinite limit rather than address practicality.Nice spin,. but meaningless discourse.
My experience has been that instructor is out of classroom as instructor. A few years later, he writes a book and demand the class buy his transcript to proofread, and you are tested on both the textbook assigned and his new transcript.
I guess those texts (in every subject) from 1955 are sufficient enough....waste of time to worry about the information that education is derivative from....we pay those daggum teachers to be teachin and they better be daggum teachin!
I really have no problem if you want to get education from the matchbook cover classes, or if you prefer the TV courses. Yes, I paid for the instructor and would prefer to have an instructor in the classroom. I could have stayed home if I wanted correspondence courses. Really want good instructor to be in classroom and answer any question that arises in class.
