It is time to stop calling this nonsense “cuts.”. Only Congress can rescind appropriations passed into law.
This is the equivalent of stashing money in a drawer instead of paying your bills and claiming you are “saving” money.
Legally, this money cannot be used for anything other than what it was authorized to be spent on by Congress. This means neither the debt nor the deficit is decreasing because the money cannot be used for either purpose, so the government is *still* borrowing to pay for other things (like the over one *billion* and counting we are wasting in just a month bombing Yemen).
Meanwhile, the unspent funds are just sitting there losing value to inflation, which is *still* a serious problem despite the false promise that it would be solved on “day one” (along with the war on Ukraine, etc, etc.)
+1
We’re also going to pay for these wrongly terminated funds for decades by ceding scientific progress to China, India, Russia, the EU, and more. The U.S. will continue to fall behind in medical and environmental research, energy technology, transportation technology and infrastructure, and the understanding of our natural world. Combine that with the loss of USAID programs, soft diplomacy, and economic isolationism and we have all of the ingredients to simply lose our status as a superpower and miss out on the technological wonders of the 21st Century.
Why? Because the word “biodiversity” and working with indigenous populations is just too much to bear for the right.
