Want to know Rep. Paul Ryan’s views on science and government?
According to ScienceInsider, an online news site of breaking news and analysis from the world of science policy, Ryan has “expressed strong support of government funding of basic science, but critics argue that a 10-year roadmap he authored — if enacted — would substantially slow future spending on fundamental studies. Additionally, “he does not favor federal spending on applied research programs, such as ARPA-E, which he calls picking winners and losers, placing him at odds with Mitt Romney, who has endorsed ARPA-E in the past.””
