Unfortunately in times of economic hardship, tough choices have to be made. Cutting funding for programs like FIRST would be among the most short-sighted decisions they can make. There is fat to be trimmed in every budget, but FIRST is not a part of it.

I have hope that the many voices of FIRSTers will make themselves heard, though. Hopefully cool minds prevail and a more sensible policy will be the result. More pragmatically, I think that the politicians will realize that removing a tax credit equates to raising taxes, which then leads to early political retirement.
