I know this stance isn’t gonna make me a lot of friends on this site, but yeah, I am a little frustrated that we’re proposing more than twice as much additional spending on seniors as we are on R&D in a package everyone was originally told would be primarily about infrastructure.
Federal R&D spending is at historic lows while spending on seniors is at historic highs. I’d feel better if 1) R&D was better funded and/or 2) the care provisions were offset with health cost savings - we can’t keep just expanding benefits without controlling sky-high costs.
Anyway here’s why we need more R&D: forbes.com/sites/benritz/…
