Because no one spends as much on science as the US does, destroying NIH, NSF, NOAA, NASA, EPA, USDA, USGS, etc. is leading to a brain drain, but it's not to other countries but rather from science. This senseless destruction of US science will hurt the US and the world for a very long time.

I had a literal nightmare that during a town hall, the VP of research at my university threatened to sue me because NOAA had taken back one of my grants, but I had already spent some of the funds. He was going to make me pay for it personally. Check on your climate scientist friends. We're not okay.

To see why destroying the US science enterprise is so detrimental to the world, we have to realize that the US spends more on research and development than any other country in the world (by far), and if we remove China and Japan, the US spends almost as much as ALL other countries combined.
