How can the general public help increase research funding?

There are too many unfunded researchers with great ideas that end up closing down their labs. I know deli slicers, hedge fund reps, and bakers who all have a PhD in neuroscience and many of them DID have great ideas, but sadly they weren't funded after numerous grant applications. Basic science doesn't seem to get funded as much anymore and even translational research rarely gets funded.

Do you think we should we still be pushing STEM if higher educatuon can't support researchers once they reach graduate school and beyond?
