Economists warn Trump's research cuts could have dire consequences for GDP
Briefly

President Trump's proposed budget has raised alarm within the scientific community, as it suggests severe cuts to NASA's Science Mission Directorate and other federal funding agencies, like the National Science Foundation and NIH. Casey Dreier from the Planetary Society labeled it the worst NASA budget he has ever seen, concerned that it could halt valuable scientific missions. Sudip Parikh of the AAAS echoed these concerns, noting the broader implications of such cuts on research capabilities nationwide, signaling potential catastrophic effects if Congress moves forward with the proposed cuts.
This is the worst NASA budget I've seen in my lifetime, and it cuts deeply into science funding across the board.
If implemented, this budget would hollows out science across the country, impacting research at every university and laboratory.
