The NSF isn't the only basic research foundation in the US, but the broader picture seems to tell roughly the same story: Total basic research funding has consistently done worse under Democratic Presidents since arguably Reagan: ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf24332

I am worried about how the next administration will handle science funding, but one thing I haven't seen mentioned anywhere: the National Science Foundation (NSF) was MUCH better off under Bush and Trump compared Obama and Biden. How can that possibly be if Democrats are the party of science?
