is this not just so they can do deep sea mining in total official ignorance of the consequences

Fortunately the US system of government is weird and the executive branch doesn't set the budget. This is a proposal to Congress so time will tell whether it happens.

Incredibly damaging to make deep cuts that wouldn't even allow an agency to mothball assets and keep on the best staff.

why is austerity almost always a european thing and never really talked about as an american thing

I was confused why I never heard that word used about the US when I was little, I didn't know what it actually meant because that's just the constant policy in the US.

austerity

The word is too large and foreign-sounding for the average Burglerian to understand.

Austerity is just the norm in burgerland, so it need not be named.

sorry we need to direct all research funding to things that will make us win the China War, like big gun, and fast airplane!!!

Would be nice if they actually reallocate researchbux to another department. These across the board cuts on taxpayer funded research are to pay for the billionaire tax cuts and ICE stormtroopers
