Budget: Military Complex > CERN

Long term value to citizens: CERN > Miltary Complex

They call me quark cause I'm always down to top and up to bottom and I'm charmingly strange. Also I'm very very small

US Congress: Audit NASA > Audit the Pentagon

EU: Audit CERN > Audit Luxemborg/Malta/~~UK~~

I'm just amazed that funding $22 billion is even an issue when the project is being backed by the EU, and partially the US, since we never built ours....

That's a rounding error for both entities
