OMG! The President Donald Trump today unveiled a 2019 budget request that be in USA, calls for eliminating numerous federal research programs, ALSO including a fleet of NASA satellites, energy research efforts, and i hope no for long time climate and environmental science programs.
The administration erased and eliminates its original plan for deep cuts at many major research agencies. But, it is asking Congress to use a new founds of cash to maintain level funding for some of those agencies.
The White House to adhere to the existing spending caps. That triggered many of the same research thenTrump called for in his 2018 request. The White House officials will had 3 days to decide how they wanted get solutioned and tweak their request to further reflect the new budget reality.
Then the trouble and the results are multiple documents that can leave readers with whiplash.The numbers seems bis spend for science, adding 21% cut to overall basic research, 29% cut to the National Science Foundation , a 27% cut at the National Institutes of Health, and a 22% cut to the Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
