Scarborough: Many Programs Are Being Cut for No Good Reason at All; We Will Become Poor Country Because of This

EXCERPT:

SCARBOROUGH: “And that happens, again, when you dare to look forward, when you dare to explore. And we're not just talking about space, Mika, we're talking about science. So many programs being cut and slashed right now for no good reason at all. We talked about RFK Jr. and the disastrous decision, according to most medical researchers, that he is making -- slashing funding for medical research and doing it just to appease a certain sliver of a certain base. Most Americans oppose that. You look at NIH funding, National Institute of Health, slashing funding for women's health, for men's health, slashing funding for Alzheimer's, slashing funding for cancer research, slashing funding -- you go down the list. You look at the slashing of funding for research and development. It makes absolutely no sense at all. And, again, we will become a poorer country because of this unless we have a Republican Congress that will actually work in a bipartisan way with Democrats to restore funding to the National Institutes of Health, that will restore funding to critical research and development programs and studying on our best college campuses, not just our best college campuses, the best college campuses on the planet.”
