Billions of dollars wasted going to places that do not support carbon and water based life forms.

Oh, you're on of "those". None of the money would actually go to the moon. The money would go to scientists, engineers, manufacturing companies, miners, and so on. Those people would then buy homes, raise families, and buy groceries. Just like when Mercury/Gemini/Apollo were active.
