I agree. The "space race" against the Soviets was one thing but now it's time to let private entities take this over.
Would you invest in such a program? Not me. And I'm not trying to disparage NASA by saying this. It's just that decisions were made during the conceptual-phase of the shuttle program that guaranteed that it would never be economically viable as a launch platform.
