I just got the official email from the NSF about the drastic cuts and I think the correct translation is "if you are a young researcher who still wants to do science strongly consider leaving the United States if you can." which, really, is not an ideal message to be sending.

Research grants from the federal government are set up to maximize the benefits to the US from research. They are awarded to the places and people best able to solve the problems, invent the drugs, add innovations etc. Withholding grants hurts the US.
