I do not like his cuts to NIH research grants. Some of those fund meaningful research that can also serve as an introduction for researchers to get private industry jobs.

Agreed 100%. Also NIH research grants help us stay ahead of the world in medical research and will possibly fuck us down the line as the world leader in that. China will be happy to capitalize on that I am sure

China has relied on foreign research grants for their own medical research, so I do not seem them picking up the slack. Many US researchers who lost grant money are now moving to Europe, which is even more competitive when it comes to getting research funding.

The real issue is that a few major researchers and institutions in the US suck up all the research funding, leaving crumbs (or nothing) for everyone else. Because these researchers/institutions are pedigreed, there is nothing to be done about it - young researchers/academics cannot call this out or go up against it without having their careers snuffed out.

The Chinese research system is plagued with fraud and abuse. Theres pressure to create something out of nothing with tons of paper mills. The reason why they sent people over to the US was to stay above the fray of their own messy system. Its economic and academic arbitrage. Kicking them out and pulling NIH funding won't effect the US in the long term.

Johnson isn't even stopping him. Hakeem gave him a perfect excuse to take another graceful defeat and kill Trump's agenda.

I wouldn't care if the NIH funding cuts only hurt the commies, but they are broader than that.

I am fine with them going to therapy or whatever, but they shouldn't get irreversible surgery.

Now your turn to tell me something you don't like that Dear Leader is doing (like tax cuts for billionaires would work)

1) Not enough restrictions on H1-Bs
2) Not enough incentives or "Carrots" to shore up domestic manufacturing

I never said they wouldn't vote. What will happen, however, is that enough Rs will cuck out and block the bill.

I am hoping this bill makes it back to the Senate so it can get the necessary changes to not make it a dumpster fire. Why is this nigger making the case FOR the bill to get passed?
