ah ah! J'ai enfin (re)trouvé une référence où est expliquée la dépendance du capitalisme à la croissance, via la création monétaire et la dette encourue lors d'un prêt (non, je n'ai pas lu Graeber, pas le temps)

Federal agencies such as NIH and NSF are critical sources of funding for basic and applied scientific research. Recently, many of these agencies have seen their research operations frozen or downsized. This brief describes a new analysis of the macroeconomic costs of cutting federal funding for scientific R&D. The brief finds that budget cuts to public R&D would significantly hurt the economy in the long run, with large negative effects on GDP, investment, and government revenue. A 25 percent cut to public R&D spending would reduce GDP by an amount comparable to the decline in GDP during the Great Recession. Cutting annual public R&D spending in half would making the average American approximately $10,000 poorer (in today’s dollars) than the value implied by the historical trend in GDP. Cutting public R&D would also shrink federal government revenue. A 25 percent cut in R&D would decrease revenue by approximately 4.3 percent annually, while a 50 percent cut would decrease it by 8.6 percent annually.

🤷♀️ 🤔❓️ I don't have an answer to that. Only a personal opinion.
I believe that the #Trump #Junta wants to put the "bottom" 90% of the #US population into economic pain. For a variety of reasons. Some are outright #evil, some more connected to the general #macroeconomic situation of the #USA.
What they WANT is a managed #recession they can handle.
What (at least as I project this) they are instead GOING TO GET is a #FreeFall off a cliff.
I think they miscalculated badly here.
