Nothing like burning down the house. What could be less efficient than arbitrarily terminating work in midstream?Ruroh! Another conservation project on hold.
Illinois delays project to keep invasive carp out of Great Lakes, cites uncertainty over federal funding

Good news doesn't sell and at least one side of the aisle figured out long ago that creating boogeymen worked to their advantage. The hell with the truth when votes are on the line. To be fair, both sides of the aisle are guilty of this. One side is just better at it.
I support funding science research. No argument there. But not all of the paused grants are necessarily the purview of the USG. But more importantly, all grants should be 100% auditable so that the taxpayer, through the elected officials, can be sure those monies are being spent as intended and not siphoned off to fund pet projects or fund friends and political donors. I see no issues looking under the hood on this matter. And if there are no issues, then the work can continue. Pausing current efforts while the audit is performed is oftentimes necessary albeit painful. I have been on both sides of that coin.
That is a fair opinion. Tariffs are two-edged beasts. They can incentivize organic production over imports and in some cases level the playing field for US-based production. But the business case has to close. If it can't close with a US production model, then they are counter-productive and direct and indirect industries will become more expensive to the consumer.

You really have to be kidding.
Out of context. You missed the correlation.Nonsense.

Wasn’t that what GAO was for? Do we have proof they were NOT doing their job?
Yes - that should be the job of the GAO. Still waiting for the proof to come out. There are some early reports (which need to be closely scrutinized and vetted) that would indicate in many case that no, the GAO was not doing there job. Or they were being stonewalled by either the agency itself or congress-critters with vested/political interests. I take any claims so far with a grain of salt. But I don't have an issue with really digging in to find the truth either. I am suspicious of anyone who reacts as hysterically as many of the Dems are now to digging into each and every USG agency to verify that tax dollars are being spent as intended and that those dollars can be accounted for in an audit.
Both parties definitely have. Drastic correction measures warranted for both parties. One party seems at least open to correcting. One party + Mitch McTurtle seem adamantly opposed. Time will tell

Who's paying for it?
As a shareholder I applaud the EMT for increasing value for their investors.
Mexico? Oh wait, wrong subject…
The auditors using “appropriate”standards didn't detect the fraud, corruption , and waste in decades that the current auditors have found in a few days. Apparently the qualified auditors couldn’t run a simple query to find that 150 year olds are still getting SS payments. Let’s see what the unqualified guys find and then judge.
When the British are calling BS, Elon should be embarrassed his lies are getting too extreme. Not that the truth matters much.

I’m waiting to see the proof on this one.
No doubt. The real measure will be who steps up to fix the problem going forward. Early indications favor the Republicans if the rhetoric so far holds.
