NSF sees cuts

You knew stuff like this was coming (I certainly did)

Stuff like this is absolutely insane... among several other things, the innovation of tomorrow (and hence industry and jobs) depend on the research done today. That is affected in a big way by research dollars... with the ecomony like it is, you need to pay attention to the short term, but you also need a plan for the long term as well. This is like changing one flat tire and putting a slow leak in the other three.
