Science feels like it is under attack lately…
And it is…
but it’s not alone.
The current executive branch of the United States government
has decided that the American people are fraudsters.
That anything spent on the American people is a waste of time and money
They have determined… that the resources Americans have pooled together through taxes and invested in ourselves is a form of theft.
From who?
Policies supported by the people, paid for by the people, in order to keep us healthy, educated, and secure…
Generational commitments between citizens… each giving a little for a greater good… for infrastructure, parks, clean water, clean air, untainted food, and defense of basic human rights…
We all pitch in to keep small farms working, teachers teaching, and the elderly housed. We pitch in to provide for ourselves, our neighbors, our communities, and our nation.
A pooling of resources that has put American science ahead of the world in medicine, military, and technology…
And now… almost overnight, America has been deemed a fraud.
And most insultingly of all, by individuals who have not been pitching in their fair share… but now are looking to redistribute the peoples’ collective efforts.
The executive branch has not cut waste or fraud, returning lost revenue to the national investments or back to the people.
They are in the process of doing just the opposite, diverting the nation’s collective investments into private schemes.
Science may be under attack, but so is everything else that makes America great. Everything that is except for… This Week in Science
Coming up next.
