If you’ve been paying any attention at all to the recent budget brouhaha, you’ll notice that the National Science Foundation took a beating, with it’s budget being slashed by Congress. Not only did they not get what the President asked for in his budget, but they didn’t even keep up with inflation.

If you’re unfamiliar with the National Science Foundation, a quick background: the NSF provides grants and other funds for the basic research that allows our contry to maintain its technological and scientific preeminance. They fund a variety of programs in a variety of fields, including computer science, mathmatics, physics, medicine, archaeology, genetics, astronomy, chemistry…virtually the entire range of human scientific study. At a time when we’re graduating fewer and fewer engineers and scientists, and our students are falling behind other countries in the comprehension of maths and science, is cutting the funding of this federal agency, one of the few that produces a real, tangible benefit in our lives and economy, really such a wise move? Appearantly Congreess thinks so…
