From the http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/22/mitt-romney-budget-cuts_n_1443743.html

..........At issue are these programs, just to name a few: health research; NASA; transportation; homeland security; education; food inspection; housing and heating subsidies for the poor; food aid for pregnant women; the FBI; grants to local governments; national parks; and veterans' health care.

Romney promises to immediately cut them by 5 percent. But they would have to be cut more than 20 percent to meet his overall budget goals, assuming veterans' health care is exempted. It's almost unthinkable that lawmakers would go along with cuts of such magnitude for air traffic control and food inspection or to agencies like NASA, the FBI, Border Patrol and the Centers for Disease Control.

I don't think there is a huge difference between the two canditates, but due to the republicans parties gradual distrust in science made by an assertion of Rick Santorum that global warming is a hoax to Rick Perry's support for intelligent design, the current Republican presidential primaries can seem like a science-free zone. Far from being a recent phenomenon, such comments reflect distrust in science among US conservatives that has been building in recent decades. So says Gordon Gauchat at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, who has analysed results from the General Social Survey (American Sociological Review, vol 77, p 167).  New scientist 03 April 2012 (I'm a subscriber)

So a vote for Romney is a vote for an establishment that has given up on science and would rather increase the defence budget than increase spending on Science (NASA!!) and healthcare.

So i would vote for Obama
