Warning : post may contain nuts

Indeed, the money is about what $ANY_GOVERNMENT_AGENCY spends annually on peanuts.

Which, pedantically, aren't really nuts in fact, but are still liable to make some people extremely unwell.

And possibly that isn't the point. I mean, US.gov can't very well say "We'll give you $20 million a year * if you leave U.S. businesses alone."

* in used nuts. ** eww.
