Preach! It even touched high-schoolers. I got a high school internship on an NSF grant to study ground penetrating radar for landmine detection. It was my first exposure to Maxwell's equations, Unix, networking, and most importantly how real research gets done. I took away lifelong management and research mores, a love of Unix, and ended up getting my degree in EE. These cuts will have huge follow-on costs that we can't later simply re-budget to recover.
