Go ahead and spend the money Mr. President, after you tell us what programs you're going to cut to pay for the increase.

The discretionary budget increase for NASA is about 3%.

Inflation plus population growth in this country went up around 4% for the year.

That means that you pay LESS for this program than you did last year.

What part of this don't you understand?

The part I don't understand is why this country continues to allow the federal government to ignore their constitutional responsibilities by spending tax monies on programs in which they have no authority to be involved. NASA is a good thing, but it would be more in line with the constitution if the monies spent were from the DOD budget, and NASA was a subset of that.

Obviously you are not going to be able to get my point, as you somehow can equate an increase in spending to be a net savings. Are you a teacher?
