Have you any idea how many people that was? Even an inkling?
Sure I do - who do you think paid them? I got my first TAX paying job in 1964 and I continue to pay TAXES to this day.

You should be proud.
Your tax dollars were being spent on the industry that requires the best of scientists, the best of engineers, the best of machinists, the best of production and quality control technicians.
And most impotently..the NEED for engineers and scientists.
Now your taxes are spent on supporting out of work History majors, and those who won't work or won't improve their situations.
No contest.
