i guess i just don't understand the idea behind cutting funding to something like this, while increasing our already lol hilarious size defense budget, which is larger than the next 11 countries' defense budgets combined
This chart says 7, not 11, but still, who's counting. Our defense budget is just insane. If they seriously want to cut government, which no one really is, making the defense budget be the size of the next 3 countries, instead of 7, would be a nice place to start.

Especially since we are BFFs with 3 of those countries, try to be with Saudi Arabia, and India is all w/e. That leave just China and Russia. But no, let's cut a tiny but helpful things and bloat what is arguable the most bloated thing on earth.
