Funding increased from $5 million to $28 million, researchers note
Programs understaffed despite funding boost

Researchers concluded that many programs remained understaffed even as their funding grew from $5 million to $28 million.

Jordan Weissmann questioned where the additional money was allocated, noting the disconnect between the marked increase in funding and the lack of staffing improvements in these programs.

Weissmann has previously covered potential risks identified by leading economists, including Paul Krugman's view that financial markets may be underestimating risk tied to France in recent reporting. He also reported that national lenders have flagged Washington, D.C. as a red flag for investment, heightening investor concerns in the area earlier this year. These reports reflect his focus on risk assessment and funding allocation within financial sectors.
