A good government group has expressed concerns about the impact of cutting funding to US scientific research. According to this group, such cuts do not result in cost savings.

Instead, they have negative effects on the economy and the well-being of Americans. Economic growth is lowered, and costs are shifted to communities and families.

Further details on this issue are available from the Aspen Daily News, which has reported on the potential consequences of reducing federal science agency funding, including decreased security and health for Americans.
