We can do it even more easily. Literally shave exactly 1% off medicare, social security, and defense, then allocate those savings to research. Voila, youve just doubled the research budget, growing the research budget in one step more than its increased since the Federal government started funding research.
The fact that we dont do this is indefensible bullshit, and the fact that 99% of research scientists dont realize Democrats are no better than Republicans on this score is incredibly depressing.
I'd be very likely to vote for someone who made substantial increases in research funding like this, regardless of their other stances.

These sentences contradict each other. The problem is that people have a problem there's differences. Differences are okay, and are actually very important. It's what differentiates individuals.

The government owning a building does restrict who can set up shop on it. Does the military has a chapel and an altar for the satanic church? The government provides lodging for the clergy as a courtesy to them, and as a courtesy it can be removed at any time.

Its not that politicized. 100% of "social science" is bullshit, and studies of gender theory as it relates to glacier movements are bullshit, but that stuffs a tiny fraction of the total. Most of the federal research funding -- like essentially all of it -- goes to actual, valid research. Moreover, ~5-10% of proposals are funded. There is a lot more scientific work to be done, and people who want to do the work, but lack of funds slows us down.

They do not have to be forced to work with a religion that they are not comfortable with.

About the same as yours, I post anonymously on an internet board. But I shouldn't be addressing you since you are clearly well credentialed at playing politics.

Retarded. Research into basic science and even the advanced development of so many things greatly benefits all people who pay taxes. The ROI is probably far greater than a plethora of programs funded by tax dollars.

Ok, that's fine. Difference between me and you is I'm not creating threads about how we can fix problems by creating a from-scratch government, and I don't want to insult you by giving you wikipedia links.
My recommendation, go take a few political science and history courses at your local community college and come back to us in a year or two.

The internet was politicized research. It is the greatest spreader of bullshit agendas every made, so your point is well taken.
