We let it get away, but building the Super-collider ("Super-Clyde") would have eaten much of the national science budget for some time.The SSC was its own line item; it didn't come out of the DOE budget.
And then you have to ask what science was funded by the windfall of the SSC cancellation.

Good points. What I was saying had been put forth in some arguments at the time, but clearly there's another side to the story.
