It looks like hard science is getting hit (too).

Believe it or not, defense research at another national lab is also being hit. I think my sister will be safe from the layoffs announced at Sandia. But others are loosing their jobs, and not just through attrition. I wonder how the other national labs are impacted?

Every time someone in Washington thinks that they need to spend less money, they cut things that matter only to people who don't (or cannot) vote for them. I wonder if the loss of the long-time (and powerful) representative in Washington whose district, I believe, included Fermi, has anything to do with this.
