How do you develop a curriculum for something that has not been invented yet and might not even be possible to expand to a useful level? How can you have a workforce?
Sounds like someone was just cutting and pasting from a general policy...
Why does the title have to be political ans not "The US gov..."? Sounds like there is an agenda

i don't really like Trump, but i don't believe everything i read in the media. All news at this point is just push an agenda from one side of the tribe or the other.
Sure, but you don't need to trust the media to hear a lot of these things come out of his own mouth.
However, all research institutions take a cut of grant money in what is usually called "Facilities and Administration" cost. My undergrad rate was 50% of the proposed sum. Obviously the exact rate varies, but the fee remains.
Ex. If a professor is writes a proposal for 1M. When the funding agency awards it they tack on another 1M for the institution.
This is why "expensive" research is favored in universities, over theoretical work. A big part of tenure review is how much money you have brought in in funding, because that's a direct measure of how much money you made the institution.
So 75M is more like 30M-40M of directly funded research, with the rest going to the institutions.
EDIT: Berkeley's F&A goes at high as 60%. https://spo.berkeley.edu/policy/fa.html#rates
This appears to be a surprisingly level-headed government initiative. The amount is enough to do something but not so much as to be a colossal boondoggle. It's the sort of fundamental research which private industry tends to under-produce because it's hard for any given company to recoup the full value of the R&D, but the target area is something with potential downstream practical implications. > bipartisan Also by…
so close to admitting trump has done something decent!

It’s a peculiarity of the US system that decisions by the federal bureaucracy tend to be attributed to one person. You can be relatively confident that Donald Trump has no idea what a quantum computer is.
Example: "Trump sent militia to Portland to put protesters into unmarked vans.".
Or is this attribution a worry only when something good happens?
