China is going to beat the US like we beat the USSR when our credit defaults and we run out of money.

Well, in a way I can see the liberals point. If you defund all the weapons systems and turn away from our space efforts, why fund a warning system to tell us how screwed we are in the first place?

"The trend over the last several years of annual funding increases for U.S. Air Force space activity appears to be at an end,"

Gee, I wonder why.

[skeeter]

But lets make sure those entitlement programs receive 110% funding.

I hate progressives.

There is nothing but waste and gross incompetence within that entire space program. It is full of corporate welfare with one consulting company after another taking in millions upon millions for nothing. The DSP program has been going on for 30+ years and did well with small staff and small operation facilities. To operate SBIRS, they built massive facilities and hired thousands of programmers/engineers. It is stunning the waste going on. That isn’t to mention that the primary mission security classification went from SECRET to TOP SECRET/SAP for no reason whatsoever other than to increase, maintain, and secure those ridiculous budgets. The entire program should be declassified. Everyone knows the sensors going into it and there is no reason to waste hundreds of millions of dollars trying to maintain that level of security. Space operations is no longer the secret it was in the 1950s and 1960s. We all know what is in space. They use security as a means to power, control, and budgeting.
