Billions alone into the space program.

"Screw the deficit... Lets go to Mars!"

Maybe it'll open up jobs there that no American wants to do, e.g., washing and waxing the Spirit robot explorer.

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them
If you did . . . .

Yeah and all those pesky high paying jobs that come with it...oh wait! Is a 5% increase on 15 billion really getting your panties in a bunch?

No .. of course you haven't. All you see is negative! You poor thing!
