The cuts (to pay for billionaire tax breaks) to science programs will be incalculable. The real tragedy, a lot of these programs have already had the bulk of their funding (e.g. it costs a lot of build a probe, and the rocket to launch it, and then launch it). The costs of seeing them through are miniscule, but the loss to science will be large. It's stupid. And I mean that non-metaphorically. Cutting those items shows a deficiency of brain matter.
