Obama's attempt to portray Republicans as anti-science
fails.
But the picture is far more complex than just a line sloping down from President Reagan to President Bush.
Truth is, since peaking in 1964, federal funding on sciences as a percentage of GDP has gone down under every President, Democratic or Republican, except for Ronald Reagan.
I love how Reagan just keeps looking good year after year!
Of course, this won't stop the usual suspects from repeating the claim, even when they know it has been debunked.
