$200 billion could fund the National Science Foundation for 20 years.

Pentagon seeks more than $200 billion in budget request for Iran war
That figure would far surpass the costs of the U.S. airstrike campaign to date and aims to boost production of critical weapons depleted in the conflict, people familiar with the matter said.

They are terminating STEM education grants -- the grants that help you and your kids get access to a better and more effective learning experience. They are terminating grants that help everyone access careers in STEM, regardless of race or ability. They are stealing from you. Don't let them.

This is an absolute disaster. If we don't stop this, they will turn NSF into a pawn of the Trump administration. There will be no research on climate, biodiversity, or anything that isn't eugenics or AI or how to more efficiently destroy the planet for profit. This cannot be allowed to happen.

If you wanted to destroy higher ed, this is part of how you do it. I don't think a lot of folks realize how much U.S. universities rely on federal grant funding to keep the lights on, particularly in the past 20 years as the government has continuously cut tuition subsidy.
