Whatever problems you think existed, going at something with a sledgehammer isn't necessarily going to result in something nicer at the end of the day. For anybody. |
Same - at a R1 in Virginia. We have already all been on the phone. VP/Director levels in sponsored research. |
Is the DOD cutting research funding too? |
We send about 100x more fentanyl to Canada than they send to us…again, don’t be a dipshit on these issues. |
Thank you could not have said it better. Dipshit is perfect word choice for this occasion |
Academia in the entire world is reliant on the federal governments of their countries. Again, so you can understand…the entire world. The US is actually less reliant than any other single country in the world. |
Dp who works there. Absolutely not true, everyone is shocked and beyond alarmed. |
No one wants to hear from someone with so little understanding of the issue. Go post this nonsense on Truth Social. |
Could be but far from guaranteed |
Explain to anyone how the deficit has ever actually impacted your life. Literally for 40 years people have been claiming the deficit “is not sustainable”. Ross Perot’s entire 2000 platform was that the deficit in 2000 wasn’t sustainable. Why do any cuts need to be made now, while they didn’t need to be made 4 years ago or 10 years ago or even need to be made 10 years from now? Why can’t we raise revenue if you care so much about the deficit (which you actually don’t give a shit about BTW). |
You do not understand what this does to trade. The US is now the seller of last resort for corn, soybean and pork. This is from Trump's last time in office. Factories are not being built, farm equipment is not selling, people are being let go and everything is on hold. |
This is not about the deficit. Trump never talks about the deficit. The country has an infinite time lime. In 100 hundreds years no one will talk about deficits in 2025. |
Trump got zilch from Canada and Mexico, they just reiterated commitments they made months ago. Trump fell for it. |
You have no clue about the budget. Education (and USAID for that matter) are such a small piece. The real reason for the deficit is the giant tax breaks for the wealthy. Trump makes a show of axing Education and aid, painting them as indoctrination and terrorist funding while he lines his pockets on the tab of the American people via the copious tax breaks that benefit him (and the many violations of emoluments clause). |
Government spending has increased faster than any possible level of taxation revenue, idiot. It’s not the “not taxing” it’s the spending. Duh. |
