I don't know but Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Science FY 2000 request was $2,844 billion. Which is the about $4B in todays dollars and I suspect it was bloated back then.
Or President Clinton's FY 2000 budget provides $15.9 billion for NIH, a $320 million increase — or 2.1 percent — over the 1999 level. 15.9 billion is a little over 22 Billion in todays dollars.
Again, I don't understand your point IRT the NIH. What are you saying in plain English. You think they should be less money towards research?
And huge gifts to the military industrial complex and the big money donor class. Why do people act like they actually care about the debt when they support such a budget for the donor class and the military industrial complex?
Like it or not, believe in clean energy sources or not, they ARE the future. Other countries financing it are going to take the lead in it and take our money when their clean energy sources dominate.
Trump has said in his speech that he is not tying the hands of the Automotive companies anymore with MPG standards or emissions restrictions. How does this make any sense? They already have the emissions on our cars. What exactly is this supposed to mean?
You left out the planned cuts to the State Department as well.
Why do you characterize Trump's budget proposal as "deprioritizing education," when his budget includes "$1.4 billion to expand vouchers, including for private schools?"
You know the federal government does not actually educate anyone, it does not teach any classes to students. All the fed does is take taxpayer money away from the states, and then gives the money back to the states, usually with strings and mandates attached.
Research shows vouchers lead to disparity. For profit education institutions, whether k-12 or beyond, have a history of failure beyond reasonable measure. But, my point was more about the NIH funding for research at uni's, which essentially educates the next generation of scientists along with producing the innovation that makes this country great.

Let's cut funding to NIH, DOE, and the EPA so we can build a $20+ billion dollar wall along our southern border. That wall will DEFINITELY make our country a better place.

The Republicans only care about debt when the Democrats are in office. Then, they act like spoiled children threatening to shut the government down all the time, unless they get their way.....

As a matter of fact, it should.
