There is no worse tyranny than to force someone to pay for something they do not want to buy, simply because you think it would be good for them.
I am vehemently pro-research and pro-education, but these tax-funded programs are not it. There must be some meaningful connection to the delivery of value, otherwise this stuff is just public-private wealth transfer. This seems obvious to me. Why should this research be subsidized? Why should government subsidies exist in general?
This isn’t crazy stuff. We would like a smaller federal government. Why is everyone acting like the sky is falling when an elected official does the things people voted for them to do?
(Note: I did not vote for this administration, but I am happy about some of the policy decisions that are being made (and unhappy about others).)
