Let's hope the federal "Ober Conservatives" won't cut the medical research funding that feeds our UAB bulldog.

What part of "UAB Boosting R&D and adding faculty and new departments" is not dependent upon federal funding? Alabama certainly is not going to be able to fund any of those things out of the present SETF. The SETF is likely to shrink in the next several years as all those state income tax credits come home to roost. (I believe the Alabama Republicans have the legislative strength to pass the AAA all over again, this time legally and in the open.)
Literally everything they want to add will depend on increased federal funding. You can't talk about UAB expansion without bringing politics into it, because there's a wide swath of politicians from this state and people who post on this message board who think the government shouldn't exist.
And there is one person who makes everything on this board about politics.

its an extremely valid point. if the tea party types have their way all federal research dollars would vanish and uab would wither on the vine as a result
