I agree that there are thousands of programs that are less important, now if we could actually cut some of them without an outcry that the sky is falling.
Overall I am obviously not that broken up about the decrease in funding for research into the global climate change. There's plenty of research money going to schools, science foundations, etc that could be steered towards global climate change if that's the noblest cause. Personally I don't believe it is.
As far as raising taxes, there are thousands of programs out there that are inefficient, outdated, and possibly inconsequential. I say we clean up the waste and if that doesn't help the situation then we raise taxes.
