    Centralizing funding mean centralizing control
    With the very large effort to kill science in this country, I would rather it was multiple agencies.

    Plus, each field should have it's own group of people that understand the field the grant is being applied for, and that becomes cumbersome.

    The grant system has some issues, but I feel most of those could be solved with small entities that package the grant application ot the appropriate people with the purse string. The goal being to minimize the scientists time formatting text. Hell, Ideally it wuld be a standardization grant application the the person applying can fill out online. I suspect we will do that eventually, and the application will be automatically routed to the correct agency. A grant workflwo program.

    Sadly, its not likely we will just jump there.

    It will always be difficult.

    See, people like you shouldn't even be allowed to participate in the discussion. You're ignorance is vast.
    Setting aside the fact the Keynesian economist predicted the economic collapse 3 years before it started, and the includes detials on why and which policies woudl cause it.

    They also did it in the 80's economic situation; which was worse then the current one.
    SO it hard for me to dismiss it when it's shown repeated predictive power.

    "who really caused their economy to stagnate for 20 years. "
    WTF? Japans economy hasn't stagnated. Clearly you are a clueless loud mouth. If you muster up enough energy to engage your 75 IQ and actually look up facts, you would begin to understand the vast ignorant cavern you call an opinion.

    Do you realize the Japan growth rate is one of the highest?
    No of course you don't, what was I thinking? That would you require to look things up instead of having pundits tell you how to think.

    You fail to take into account japans aging population, the fact that their unemployment rate is only about 5%, and have an incredible diverse manufacturing base.

    " switch to saving and trading in gold"
    ah. Another moron who doesn't know history or why government moved away from the gilded cage. Gold has a limit, and very real limnt. And that limit impacts growth and investments.
    People s ignorant as you really shouldn't be allowed to participate in the discussion. You don't help, and your ignorance is a wet blanket on the candles of knowledge.

    How about you AT LEAST get some basic facts right?

    You want a living wage and health insurance? then support science. All the tech jobs, every electron you command, ever ounce of fuel you consume, exists because of science.

    So it's really important to do all kinds of science.

    I wish your joke was nearly as bonkers as some poeple are seriously trying to do.

    Did you know there is a group trying to get geocentrism taught in schools?

    Seriously, they even have a ridiculousn model, and of course a rewrite of known physics, to support their belief.

    If people don't like science, they shouldn't be allowed to participate in the discussion.

    You're not doing it right.

    Should never tale you more then 8 attempts to find the precise place. 12 if you are a Jr. Level

    The fact that so few poeple know the basic bit of applied logic to do that is for me both worrisome and profitable... and seldom understand mathematics.

    Just 'write code and it works' and it is done. The industry must mature past that and move on to actually engineering. The software industry must become an industry of excellence.
