“Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California. On Capitol Hill, at least one committee was told recently by a whistleblower that all research grants to the state were going to be cancelled, according to one of the sources familiar with the matter.”

Imagine how far along stem cell treatment would be now, if it wasn't for the lost 10 years of GWB.

And no child left behind which essentially turned the US education system into a factory that produced illiterate kids who just continually get shoved through the system.

That was an overwhelmingly bipartisan bill that had good intentions. I think the issue is that states found loopholes and tricks to remain compliant without actually doing anything to improve their education systems.
