> a roughly $4 billion project <

I know the country spends money on stuff far crazier than that. And I know that we can’t afford to fall behind in the “telescope race” (if there is such a thing).

But it must be said we are a debtor nation. That project was funded by borrowed money.

You're not talking about welfare benefits for Undocumented aliens are you?!

Because that would be RACIST. And just plain old mean.

If that is a project that adds to the national debt, then from that basis I would have to wonder how necessary that research is. The debt has gotten to a real serious point & I know projects like this one are very expensive.
