Does this include graduate students?  Most PhD students at research institutions are fully funded, so that would throw the number off.[/quote]
Fully funded by taxpayers. Enough already.[/quote]

You do realize that the innovation generated by grad students' research benefits the federal government and us all, correct?

Since World War II, federal funding has been a major driver of innovation at American universities, playing a crucial role in the development of technologies and scientific breakthroughs. This funding, initially spurred by wartime research needs and later by Cold War competition, has become a cornerstone of the US innovation ecosystem.  The advancements in science and math as well as medicine are almost all happening in the universities.

Given that a grad student's stipend is typically about $30k year, their work is the bargain of the century.

Enough already?  Really?[/quote]
