Fraudsters in academia may have to get real jobs.

I have to admit that as a regular citizen, if I was given, say, two
quantum physics projects and needed to decide which one to cut from
funding, I would probbaly not do a very good job.

Maybe the rest of the public is more intelligent than me. Perhaps they
would cancel all projects that do not support creationism, all physics
etc.

OK, so don't weigh in on those. What about the other 632,496 things
upon which you might be more qualified to "vote" on? A whole lot of
this is common sense.

Do we continue to wage wars and waste money on frivolous crap forever,
or do we start reining in the wild horses asses in D.C. today?
