A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money.
More seriously, the NSF isn't the focus of the admin. They're going through every federal agency making cuts, not singling out this one in particular.

That's BS. They are already bragging about raising defense spending.
Sure, but that's the exception. The cuts to the NSF are the norm.
Not to mention that the Department of Defense has never passed a financial audit in the last seven years and money frequently disappears into contractors who are known to delay projects on purpose to make more money.
If you actually split up the line items to the point where NASA and the NSF are separate it would be 9 exceptions or more.
