Great picture - however - I’m all for (unmanned) space exploration, but for $700 million is that all we get?

Dude, it's PLUTO.

There are 320 million people in this country. That staggeringly phenomenal photograph, and all the others to follow that will be much higher resolution, and the massive amount of scientific data collected outside of photographs - this entire, incredible scientific and technological triumph, cost you $2.19.

Deal with it.

Yeah, and 47% are getting some kind of gubmint support so your "per citizen" cost is BS.
What you can't deal with is the fact that trillions of dollars (and 17 dead astronauts) later, there's nothing out there.
