Yep. And they do. Complaining that the scientists are spending money is 
the wrong way to do it.  The scientists didn't take the money from you. 
Your elected representatives did.  So the decisions have already been 
questioned by the taxpayers, and the taxpayers said it was a good use of 
money.

Welcome to politics, where you get one decision regardless of how many 
people it affects.
