Well sure, lefties love throwing money around like it’s theirs, so when the flow slows, they have to be upset about something. Ref: Student Loan Forgiveness
WHY does the fedgov take so much money, only to “give it back” with conditions attached?
Maybe this is a wakeup call to the entire nation to ask why, whatever program of yours that is impacted by a TEMPORARY halt in funding, gets funded by the fedgov in the first place.
Maybe it SHOULD be funded by the fedgov, and this temporary halt can help us understand that. But maybe it shouldn’t. (And most likely it should not, in the long run.)
At the very least, if a program director is panicked about its latch to the govt teat, show that the program isn’t a tranny nest, and mama treasury will uncover her nipple for you.
I saw a meme this morning that was something like, “Trump supporters don’t measure his success by what he can do for them. They measure his success by what harm he can cause others.”
As I said, go ahead a review everything to your hearts content. Make recommendations and cut funding you don’t agree with. So is the purview of an administration in power. But there is no need to put critical grant and loan funding in jeopardy during the review process. As my grammy would say, “Don’t cut your nose off to spite your face.”
It would be nice if the president of the United States could word his executive orders better. Don’t blame the bureaucrats when this gets embarrassing for him.
I work in research and it’s amazing how many grants are just repeated experiments they have done over and over. It’s like fusion always being 30 years away.
They professors and centers get millions and produce little. Mostly political research like climate change or obesity. It’s sad that working people have to fund these gravy trains, so this is great…
First thing to do when your in a hole is
a.) Stop digging
b.) Keep digging but set some priorities and create a long-term plan to eventually stop digging.
This would be a good opportunity for people who receive assistance from the government to exercise a little self examination to determine if finding a job might be a better option for them to meet their needs. I hear there’s going to be a huge need for vegetable pickers and bus boys real soon…
