Paul Ryan's Record On Science and Government

sciencehabit writes "U.S. Representatives Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) don't have much in common when it comes to politics. Kucinich is a very liberal Democrat who's leaving Congress this January after being defeated in a primary election by a more moderate colleague. Ryan is a conservative leader and now the Republican Party's presumptive candidate for vice president. A dozen years ago, however, the two men found one thing they could agree on—killing the National Ignition Facility, a multibillion dollar laser fusion project at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. The article goes on to explore other impacts Ryan could have on science as VP."

Eventually you run out of other people's money, and then what?

Give it a rest with this tired "other people's money" line. You're not fooling anybody but yourself.

And I've never been in an organization, public or private, that didn't waste *some* money/time/other resources. It's nearly impossible not to.
