The House Democratic leadership has released an official stimulus summary and it looks great. It includes $10 billion in new spending for science, including $3 billion in new money for NSF — “including $2 billion for expanding employment opportunities in fundamental science and engineering to meet environmental challenges and to improve global economic competitiveness, $400 million to build major research facilities that perform cutting edge science, $300 million for major research equipment shared by institutions of higher education and other scientists, $200 million to repair and modernize science and engineering research facilities at the nations institutions of higher education and other science labs, and $100 million is also included to improve instruction in science, math and engineering” — and $6 billion for broadband deployment.
Here is a PDF of the summary and we’ll have more details on this as it begins moving forward.
