Voices on the other side?
The latest notable op-ed on the decline of funding for basic research brings up the question: Is there anyone actually raising their voice in favor of the general reduction in Federal funding for basic research, or for the “repurposing” of DARPA funding for basic Computer Science reseasrch in particular? Arguments defending such cuts are certainly no where in evidence in coverage of this issue recorded by CRP Blog, but I suppose that’s not surprising. This CTWatcher would be very interested to see any pointers to people who argue the other side.
