You said it. The entire ten-year Apollo Program consumed less money than a single year of WIC/SNAP (inflation-adjusted). And at least the NASA guys and contractors showed up for work and produced something.
When I pointed this out to a liberal-leaning friend of my Mom's, his only response was to splutter a bit and then say, "Don't say things like that." Couldn't deal with the facts, I guess.
NASA should be a Lewis and Clark agency.
