"Let us be the generation that reshapes our economy to compete in the digital age. Let's set high standards for our schools and give them the resources they need to succeed. Let's recruit a new army of teachers, and give them better pay and more support in exchange for more accountability. Let's make college more affordable, and let's invest in scientific research, and let's lay down broadband lines through the heart of inner cities and rural towns all across America."

This is a direct quotation from the Obama for America website http://www.barackobama.com/... I begin this diary with this quote in order to underscore an important reason why we should care about science funding.
