    Other fields are less deserving of funding if the NSF is looking to make cuts.

    Doing this is a horrible idea. It is unwise fiscally and from a policy perspective.

    The founders were political scientists of the first degree. Further, they put an emphasis on educated masses in relation to effective governance. Certainly, this is worthy of funding from the federal government.

    To discontinue NSF funding for political science would further undermine civic education in our democracy. We might as well economize by eating our own arms and legs. It's a bit shortsighted.

    This funding provides much-needed support to political scientists who research ways to make government work better and more responsively to citizens.

    We need research to inform such things as the institutions that will allow us to solve the pressing social and economic problems of our day. That's what political science offers.
