I started a company that makes a bunch of many every year based off of NSF research, and Nvidia is making even more based on our work that spun out. I'm not a unique story, yet they cut half the NSF budget and half the NSF-funded STEM grad students (NSF GRFP, ...). So no, whatever the NSF was doing, we should be encouraging more of it, not half of it. NSF/NIH are much more valuable investments than billionaire tax cuts as they're some of the most valuable things humanity can be doing in general, dollar-for-dollar. I try to avoid Left/Right topics, but as others point out, this one is more like Russian Talking Points for US Special Interest Groups, and beyond being anti-american, is anti-human.
