Federal funding for research and development
totals over $100 billion dollars. The public expects that this
research will be conducted independently and objectively. Yet
the Bush Administration has:
- obstructed
ongoing research by threatening political scrutiny of
projects that concern social conservatives;
- obstructed
agency research when the results might conflict with the
Administration’s
agenda;
- undermined
outcome assessment, both by creating easy-to-reach performance
measures for politically favored
programs
and by eliminating programs that identify effective initiatives that
conflict with the Administration’s ideological
agenda;
- blocked
publication of research that may upset an affected industry.
