Commenter Calls Both Cutting and Blanket Science Funding 'Stupid'
Original: ‘To me it’s stupid to just indiscriminately cut science…. But it was also pretty stupid to just keep pouring money into science’
A commentator argues that indiscriminately cutting science budgets is foolish, but says it was equally foolish to keep pouring unlimited money into science without scrutiny. The remark frames the debate over research funding as a question of balance rather than raw spending levels, suggesting that neither wholesale cuts nor uncritical growth serve science well.
Why now: Ongoing political debates over government science budgets have made arguments about how, not just how much, to fund research contentious.
