Jesus ing Christ what a dip you are to think Musk cares about the national debt.

Who said they needed to be canceled? Not everything is being eliminated.
How am I supposed to know? Undoubtedly a lot more than you.
How convenient. I guess your Elon decided spending your tax money on your Elon is great!
Financial disclosures for federal appointees are usually public.How am I supposed to know?
Why not for your Elon?
He's not my Elon but he sends military satellites into space much much cheaper than the government payed with the other supplier.
He also bailed out NASA when Boeing dropped the ball on returning astronauts from the International Space Station.
Are you sure those disclose all your tax payments?
So whatever your Elon does is OK with you and you'll take your Elon's word about your Elon and everyone else.
I guess we'll never know.Are you sure those disclose all your tax payments?
Your Elon definitely has all your tax information now. You approve.
Ughhh... is that what I wrote?
You're the one who brought it up. You should know.
You don't take your Elon at his word?
Pick a lane.
Wouldn't matter if that information was in there. Your Elon's financial disclosure is a state secret. And you're fine with it.You're the one who brought it up. You should know.

Johns Hopkins Plans Staff Layoffs After $800 Million Grant Cuts
Local and international health research efforts are already winding down as the university braces for even more potential cuts
it's penny wise for pound foolish to dismantle NIH
https://www.forbes.com/sites/michael...ds-new-report/National Ins utes of Health grants generated almost $95 billion in economic activity nationwide according to ajust-released report by United for Medical Research.
The report, which is published annually, found that NIH awarded $36.94 billion in external grants to researchers across all 5o states and the District of Columbia in fiscal year 2024.
Its analysis shows that those grant awards supported 407,782 jobs and $94.58 billion in new economic activity nationwide, the largest figure in the history of the report. That translates to a return on investment of $2.56 for every $1 in awards.

That's a shame
we've never had patriotic state ideology and brute-force, top-down censorship of the whole of government along ideological lines
nor have we ever had POTUS use the public fisc to extort any person or ins ution who doesn't want to do things his way

What are you held accountable for?
Let us know what you're personally responsible for here.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/johndra...lion-annually/America’s long-term growth is at stake. Congress is weighing sweeping FY2026 cuts to fundamental science, including $18 billion from the National Ins utes of Health and $5 billion from the National Science Foundation.
The proposed dismantling of NSF raises an urgent question: do these cuts actually save money or merely delay spending until the bill gets larger? The answer is clear: these cuts will cost the economy billions.
How do we know this? New macro-empirical research finds that every dollar invested in non-defense public R&D yields $1.40–$2.10 in economic output, and since World War II, government funding has driven roughly 20% of U.S. productivity.
In this post, I explore why public investment in research matters, explain how the evidence was gathered and examine the political forces that keep America from investing more.
Bottom line: the proposed NIH and NSF cuts alone would eventually strip at least $10 billion per year from U.S. output.
