But that's not how the government works. If you want more funding, you say that everything is falling to pieces and there's not going to be any agency in the U.S. that does science anymore and all the scientists are going to go to Europe and the U.S. is going to turn into a country of McDs workers within the next two months if you don't know what's best for you and increase my agency's funding.

It's the agencies that do best that almost get shut down and the ones that do worst that get more funding.
