[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am surprised this is not getting more attention here. Most probably have never heard of the NSF? Founded in 1950. If our president has its way, it will essentially be wiped out. Our universities will be second (or third) rate, if that. [/quote]
The bigger economic impact will be loss of talent coming to the US to study.  Foreign (and domestic) MS and PhD candidates will be turned away for lack of funds.  We’ve benefited enormously by attracting the world’s top talent.  Now we get to experience brain drain just like Russia.[/quote]

Most are from China and India and many of them steal IP and cause significant harm to US economic and national security concerns.

China is already announcing missiles capable of penetrating US missiles defense system made possible by advanced technology stolen by Chinese doctoral students.

And India is rapidly becoming another version of China with stolen technologies. We do not want another version of China in india,,[/quote]

So the solution is
* cut funding to science by 50%
* raise the price of scientific employees

result: brain drain to China where they actually have enough money to buy equipment to do science and have a large enough team to do it.

that is the solution you want?[/quote]
