text: Well then, Trump's NSF cuts will put a kink in your rope, hey? Maybe you'll have to lay off a few people. Or maybe, as you professed yesterday, you can peddle your weathered old body for a couple million?
  
  You show a great deal of ignorance. Most of the protesters know that Trump's cuts are to basic research, not teaching creation theory to high school freshmen. You should know that, too. It seems you are both socially and academically isolated, if you can't recognize the target and significance of proposed cuts.
  
  Speaking of cuts, Bush II led Trump in defunding climate satellites crucial to hurricane prediction. Republicans in Congress cut Obama's budget for replacement climate monitoring satellites because "there is no global warming", a delusion shared by nearly all Republicans. Trump wants to eliminate the 1.9 billion per years NASA climate budget. This is basic science, and Republicans hate it with a truly insane passion.
