There is no lack of resources to support science, just a lack of political will to fund it. When it comes to government funding there is not a set amount of funding for each area. If there is political will it will get funded. The scientist who help kill the SSC [1] found this out the hard way - they thought that the money would flow back into other areas of science, but in the end it just went back into the main budget and no other area of science got more money 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_peptic_ulcer_disease_and_Helicobacter_pylori https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_peptic_ulcer_disea...
