We need a real game changer—like the colonization of space to break out of the doldrums. Don't tell that to hilLiary...she'll just add it to her list of black hole govmint spending projects.
Billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson are now competing on space travel, without taking a dime of tax money.

"Billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson are now competing on space travel, without taking a dime of tax money." 'Fraid not. Sure, there is "some" competition, but the source of the money is still largely from the fedgov....just by means of contracts and grants rather than directly via NASA. Many, many "dimes" of tax money are involved.
