[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid in grad school is paid off an NSF grant. Will she get paid this week? She doesn't know.[/quote] Nursing homes, hospitals, schools, colleges, research institutes, states, all rely on these grants. Tens of millions of jobs. It’s going to get real bad real fast.[/quote] The memo says the agency reviews are not due to OMB until February 10, so I don't think this is going to get resolved anytime soon. This is going to inflict enormous pain not just on the recipients of the services that these grants fund, but also on those who work to administer and deliver these programs, most of whom are modestly paid and working for organizations that can't bankroll more than a couple of weeks of pay, if that. What a cruel and inhumane way to cut back on spending. American should be ashamed of itself. We are the laughing stock of the democratized western world.[/quote]
