re: #273 researchok

Government has a long, proud and well deserved reputation for inefficiency and waste.

I am quite sure we can eliminate a minimum of 10% waste from the system without impacting the quality of the services.

It’s nice to be sure about things.

How do we do that, then? What 10% of the NIH’s budget should we cut, please?

Who, exactly, is going to determine what 10% of the NIH’s budget is ‘waste’? Please keep in mind that the heads of scientific research institutions consider the NIH to be incredibly underfunded.
