When the only accomplishment noted for last night’s returning Discovery crew in CA...because of weather, the shuttle has to be trucked cross-country to FL...is that they took a treadmill up to the space station, you have to wonder why we are continuing such an expensive program when we are some $30 TRILLION in debt. We are going to have to look at some of these sacred cows.
Given that this technology is how our entire nation works (satellite, weapons, internet, etc...) this is a program that MUST be funded. That’s like saying “We really can’t afford electricity, but pay the cable bill!”.
Yeah like the "bailouts", the WIC program, AFDC, foodstamps, welfare checks for having children the poor can't afford to support, the student aid program, housing programs and all of the other giva-a-way programs that Americans are getting ripped off to pay for. And then there is the eight billion bucks to the ACORN, the Democrat Party's favorite organized crime group.
