Jesus. Speculation. You couldn't tell?

Please consider my original point, no one is going to be able to persuade the voting public that 70% is appropriate or fair--even if it is explicable--because the number itself screams BLOAT which is what DT ran on and was elected for.

I know. Look, let's not freak out. The way this admin works, this is what will likely happen:

Add 70% and 15%
Divide by 2
That's the new rate
Children's research hospitals and similars are exempt and can negotiate

I believe that is true 100%.

The research and the researchers are not indirect. Please justify the portion of the 70% that goes to the development office, depreciation, undergrad administration, etc.

If this even catches the public's attention it is going to be hard to convince the American people that a 70% up-charge for indirect o/h costs is appropriate or fair.

Coughenour is a formidable "don't f*ck around with me" judge. Most attorneys are in fact fearful of him, but all respect him highly and come prepared.

Nicely said.

Would could give them 20 senators and 150 representatives. No surprise, not sure Trump has thought this through....
