Funding for basic science and medicen should be a bi-partisan winning issue. It is good for America. It is good for the world. It helps eventually lift the poor. It helps business. Its something the government can and should do that is hard for private business to do. It helps human knowledge. I'm motivated to reverse this trend.

“Good” is never an objective question, its always one dependent on values, and values are often not bipartisan.

Everyone believes everyone should share their values, but if they did, there wouldn't be different ideological factions in the first place.

I don't even think this one is a bipartisan issue. This just seems to just be coming from the White House.

The article said

> The Senate and House rejected the White House’s proposed budget cuts

Since WH can't control the budget they are changing how it's doled out by giving larger payments to a smaller group.
