Economists warn Trump's research cuts could have dire consequences for GDP
President Trump has proposed slashing federal scientific funding. Economists say the long-term consequences could be dire.
Economists warn: Trumpβs science cuts threaten the U.S. economy.
Slashing funding for NIH, NSF, and NASA hurts every American. These cuts are killing jobs, stalling innovation, and shrinking our economic future.
We all pay the price when science is defunded.
