The proposed LLNL 2010 budget is down 7 million

The proposed LLNL 2010 budget is down 7 million from last year. Not bad but will Congress approve it? Repubs are already whining that the cuts aren't deep enough.

The budget over at LANL is going down by 7% (hundred of millions). In that context, a loss of only 7 million at LLNL doesn't look so bad.
Hardly surprising. Congress has been bleeding LLNL white for many years now. The party affiliation means nothing anymore. They get their jollies from hurting you. And like an abused spouse you keep letting them beat you up, and worse still you vote for them.
NOTHING is worth this kind of treatment. The world does not revolve around 7000 East Avenue. Leave now, you can find a new job a lot easier than you believe. Just take the steps, go out and build a new life.
Interestingly the overall NNSA portion of LLNL's budget is up from FY09.
Weapons is down FY09 - 1,012,460,000 FY10 - 987,421,000
Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation is up FY09 - 83,033,000 FY10 - 117,683,000
Total NNSA is up FY09 - 1,099,299,000 FY10 - 1,105,104,000
-----
Nuclear Energy (Fuel Cycle R&D) is down FY09 - 2,940,000 FY10 - 0
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy is down a bit. (No money for Hydrogen but new money for Fuel Cell and Solar R&D) FY09 - 7,628,000 FY10 - 6,166,000
Science is down (Bio & Envir cut by 10 million) FY09 - 53,167,000 FY10 - 43,283,000
Health Safety and Security the same FY09 - 3,214,000 FY10 - 3,214,000
Fossil Energy R&D (Carbon Sequestration) is down FY09 - 1,258,000 FY10 - 1,019,000
Defense Envir Cleanup is up (Thanks to EPA for fining DOE) FY09 - 0 FY10 - 910,000
Total LLNL is down FY09 - 1,167,506,000 FY10 - 1,159,696,000 -----------------
Also remember that WFO and direct Dept of Homeland Security work does not show up in these numbers. Any Congressional "earmark" projects are also not in it.
And there's something new called Site Stewardship FY09 - 0 FY10 - 35,000,000 This appears to be for Envir cleanup projects which dropped FY09 - 21,446,00 FY10 - 0
---
Employment (Contractor) stayed the same NNSA FY09 - 4,240 FY10 - 4,240
Other FY09 - 1,475 FY10 - 1,475
Total LLNL FY09 - 5,715 FY10 - 5,715

May 9, 2009 12:43 PM You missed it too. This proposed budget is a big win for the lab. You need to re-read the post and try to calm down a little bit.
This is a Lab forum, not a place for DNC or RNC attack dogs. If that is all you can post, go elsewhere.
47 is a former employee and not an attack dog for any party: just calling a spade a spade.
If you would open this forum up to some critical discussions, the blog might turn out to be of some use!
Losing money from the weapons budget means LC and NIF lose. More job losses for the "jewels" of the lab. Can't see how that can be spun as good news.
