It's that old saying that people want to cut spending but not thhings related to the military, SS, or Medicare. This post shows you can at least put a dent in with without touching those things that account for most spending.
I wondered about things like SBIR/STTR. It says cut those things, but wouldn't those agencies (most SBIR grants from DoD) invest in those same technologies but through the big contractors like Raytheon instead of SBIR-eligible companies? If yes, then people who won't tolerate any military cuts won't tolerate this either. It's really hard to cut the budget w/o affecting military or entitlements.
