So Mike let's see some logical expression, any opinions or ideas on what programs you would like to cut to retain our space program or progress it to a direction you see as being progressive?
Me? Personally I would love to see us out of Afghanistan and cut funding to their corrupt government, same with North Korea, Iraq, Israel, and are we still sending money to Germany, Japan, and Iran? You get the federalies to cut those (and other frivolous perks like the infamous the 2 billion dollar bridge to nowhere) from the budget and you can call the shots for Nasa.
In my mind, I still think we have a ton of work on the foundation of America that would be better served with those funds and I'm not talking about food stamps and social programs. I'd send the money to repairing our infrastructure before sending a man or even a rocket to Mars. We have Nation Parks that are crumbling, bridges and highways that need sever inspection and repair, power lines and towers that have been hanging for 50+ years that require attention. Isn't social Security about to run out? When I retire in 15 years will there be the umbrella that many here are dependent on? Unless we're heading to space to retrieve something that will create a better environment here on earth and not just planting a flag on a distant rock or ice ball then let's not put our, our children's, and our children's children's tax dollars there.
