It would be so cool if we didn't have to pay for all this war on terror stuff to push ourselves into space.
Unfortunately, the real world takes precedence. :(
The war on terror is cheap compared to the massive social spending, and even the INTEREST on our debt.
Those who fail to support themselves are a drag on the productive members of society, and threaten our future.
This theme should be repeated over and over in our country, until it becomes a public disgrace to accept money stolen from the taxpayers.
