One of the most dispicable and disgraceful statements I have ever seen on FR in the ten years I have been on the site. You should be ashamed of yourself.

You forgot the sarc tag. Why should tax payers have to pay the bill? Good Lord you big government folks kills me. Who cares about the debt is your mantra.

I was far from being sarcastic. I meant every word of it and then some. I was being very restrained in my comments.

Why should tax payers have to pay the bill?

We paid the bill for him to go there and come back. And no doubt the vast majority of Americans would have no problem supporting a state funeral for a true American hero. Only a real jerk would question the infinitesimal costs of honoring the man.

The taxpayers are also paying your retirement salary. Nobody asked me if you should receive it or how much or for how long. Big government is OK as long as you suck off the government teat. But now we need to cut costs starting with Neil Armstrong. Give me a break.
