    Take that, already meager science budget! They will definitely be used to make society better.

      Thank God we are cutting out this wasteful science. It will pay for half of an F-35. We're buying an extra F-35, of course, so it's a net loss, but our budget is unlimited for the military.

      I'm thinking the outcome of this may be even more sinister.

      I know there is already plenty of corporate hands in science, doing what they can to fund research they want and making it more difficult for potentially damning results to come out.

      Fun wild experiments won't go away, they'll still get funded, but only at the mercy of the corporation that bankrolls their study.
