I know not everything is a grant for scientific research, but some of it is. The point is that these grants specifically covers the researcher's salary plus those of others. Typically a researcher will have more than one grant, and completely cover their salary as well as providing excess income. Here's a sample of how they get filled out:
No one has question Hunter Biden's corruption.
You have take the position that the Trump campaign should have been treated with more deference (the findings of Durham's report), yet want to deny the Biden family the same consideration. Also, the investigators weren't fired, just moved to other cases.
McCarthy is also going on vacation, as is all of Congress. No venom for them?
It doesn't repeal the Trump tax cuts.
The Republicans cut taxes without cutting spending, and now want Biden to do their dirty work for them.
McCarthy is going on vacation AFTER he passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling.
You're saying that students are less prepared for college-level material, and the costs of college are going as they take in the less-prepared students. What a mystery!
There is way too much spending. My community college is putting up a new building even though we've seen severe enrollment declines in the last decade. Other colleges around me are building dorms, gyms, and other facilities hoping to attract more students. Cafeterias are much nicer than when I went to college. These are things that are raising prices. DEI spending is a drop in the bucket by comparison.
Biden also made a proposal for raising the debt ceiling months ago. You do understand how negotiations work, right?
Building new facilities at state run schools like your community college don't impact tuition prices because those funds come from bonds and accounts tied to the state budget. It increases taxes but not tuition. In a private school it could increase tuition in theory but in practice those buildings are almost always financed by donors who want their name on a building.
There is a huge difference between making a proposal while issuing public declarations he was not open to any negotiations (which he was not for 89 days), and crafting a bill, getting the votes, and passing it though the House. The House Republicans passed a bill to raise the debt ceiling before going on vacation. All of the responsibility for the mess we are in lays at the feet of President No-Negotiations and Senator Do-Nothing, both Democrats.
The initial building cost is financed. The building won't heat/cool itself, doesn't empty the wastebaskets, and doesn't charge admission to cover these expenses. That will come out of tuition.
I agree these are also significant contributors.
Biden has continually proposed an unaccompanied debt ceiling increase, which happened three times under the prior administration. That was his position. McCarthy's House made their position in April, and there has been bargaining ever since. How do you negotiate with an entity that has no position from which to negotiate?
Wishful thinking.
