I heard rumors that the NSF might double in size.
I’d rather see funding go towards an international science foundation, personally There are so many amazing scientists in other countries that can’t get even living expenses covered.
- malandrew 5y agoI'd rather see us keep the money here and instead bring those scientists here to make America better as it improves the US economy. Taxpayer dollars should work for the citizens that are taxed.
- dr_dshiv 5y agoCheaper than sending troops, is all. We spend 5 billion a year on NSF in the US. Not much! Improving the scientific base of an ally could, in the end, be more effective than other aid.
- JoeyBananas 5y agoI used to think this way, but I have realized that the NSF is practically a welfare program for academics. I've seen a lot of junk science come out of NSF grants. It's very obvious that they do not manage tax payer dollars correctly.
