All businesses incur debt. Debt is fine when it is down payment or investment for the future. Space exploration is an investment for a future generations.

Cheap pills for geezers is not an investment. It is money down the rathole.

If you read my post you will see that I agree. I just think the total size of the goverment should shrink AND we should go to space. As a matter of fact I think we should do more in regards to space like offer a 500,000,000 Million reward to the first company that can cut by 90% the cost per pound to LEO.

As one who is fast approaching the "old geezer" stage of life, I have to totally agree with your economic assessment. Pills may add some quality to the end of an individual's life, but one must doubt if that quality of life is worth saving if by saving it hope is decreased for future generations.

Pills are the cheapest investment you can make in order to help people remain healthy. Do you think it's cheaper to give a pill to someone or to keep them on life support?

Yeah, what you said!

How many people here could buy your house and not have debt? There is good debt and bad debt. And the thing that our govt forgets, is how we should use the constitution to decide what kind of things we should spend money on. Govt is not responsible for retirement or medical bills.

Let's see you say that when you get there.....Many of them have to choose between pills or rent. You truely are one of the insensitive types the liberals stereotype "conservatives" as being.
