“Cutting federal funding for scientific research could cause long-run economic damage equivalent to a major recession.

A 50% reduction would lower GDP 7.6%. A 75% cut would reduce it 11.3% — a larger decline than in any recession since the Great Depression.

Graphic of Washington Post poll from April 18-22, 2025, showing "Majorities of Americans oppose various Trump proposals" highlighting two lines in particular: "Increasing the Federal Government's role in how private universities operate" - 28 percent support, 70 percent oppose "Reducing federal funding for medical research" - 21 percent support, 77 percent oppose
