Right? People always love to pitch for their ideal alternative as if these were either-or situations.
Funds for a collider - why not fusion? Funds for space exploration - why not end world hunger? Funds for astronomy - why not medicine? etc..
It happens every time a relatively big budget is discussed as if it was some kind of lottery where only one gets the jackpot.

Funding for all practical purposes is limited, and there is so much any nation, (or group of nations), can provide. Sure, you 1. can cut other areas of the budged (health, defense, roads/infra, admin, pick what), or 2) raise taxes.... but even that has a practical bound.
