Is there no good news in the world? There's precious little in this thread.

Never mind - found the article.

Now, I have no idea if there was follow-up on this and it's totally bogus or what, but this discusses a recent budget proposal that talks in terms of numbers - funded 24.5B this year, increasing to 27.7B next year, and then decreasing to under 27B the following 4 years. I don't know if they're making it up to make the budget look better, assuming we'll be done with the guns and the blowing things up by then, or what.

Sorry - my research efforts are focused elsewhere at the moment. (Although if the subject of excluding "other suspect" evidence comes up, I'm ready!)
