Look at just this one page from Trump's garbage 2027 budget. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202... And where's the money going instead? You guessed it: subsidizing corporate R&D that would happen without government involvement, but they prefer taxpayers cover it.

cuts to National Solar Observatory (NSO), NSF’s National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab),IceCube Neutrino Observatory (ICNO), National Center for Atmospheric
Research (NCAR), Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI),
and Green Bank Observatory.

Consistent with the vision of a new Golden Age of American Science and Innovation, NSF’s FY 2027
Budget will build on its FY 2026 investments to support the development of specific critical
technologies—artificial intelligence (AI); quantum information science (QIS); biotechnology (biotech),

One reason why the National Book Awards didn’t have a lot of nonwhite nominees in the mid century was because immigration law kept out most nonwhite people until 1965, and Black people were under segregation. What we see now is at least partly the result of greater competition.
