Lets’ talk some REAL lost job numbers - that also include lost American pride, tecnology, and crucial leadership, impacting our security - lest we forget:
This has been repeated in Houston & California - and with tens of thousands more whose businesses that depended on the Space Industry went belly up - at least 100,000 jobs disappeared...and ‘buma directed the head of NASA to redirect our Space Program money to Muslim countries- for THEIR advancement in the space Industry - which means what?
