Change you can believe in.

Well, I don't know if I believe it, but I like what I'm hearing.

"Science -- $3 billion for the National Science Foundation, $2 billion more for the NIH, hundreds of millions for high energy physics, satellite development, construction grants, the U.S. geological survey, NASA climate change programs and more."

More for NSF than NIH -- someone recognizes that the funding priorities haven't been quite right for a while.

Not just more to NSF but a lot more, 50% increase from $6B to $9B. Proposed NIH is 7%.

As I've said before, I like it and I think it should be done. Nevertheless, I am skeptical as to what kind of stimulative effect this will have.
