Harvard’s endowment is $53 billion. Explain exactly why they need tax payer money when the fed is already extremely in debt that’s never going to be paid back? Seriously fuck the Trump administration, but this is a non-partisan issue.
These research grants aren’t a gift and they’re not magically landing at Harvard or any other institution. Rather, they’re awarded to the very best applicants through a rigorous competitive bidding process that’s intended to identify scientific research that stands to benefit the country.
If it was non-partisan then congress could just make the changes when doing the budget. But Trump is trying to bypass our democracy.
Additionally investment in research is a great investment in the country. You’re right that we might want to look at how we’re spending our money, but that’s not what’s happening here.
