What? Killing Osama...and NASA is one of the less "necessary" things on our budget right now.


Are you kidding me? You want to undermine foreign policy, national security and the only decent federal agency because we are short on cash? I'd prefer they make cuts in spending and raise taxes, than do either one of those.

Where do you propose cuts...I just semi-said we should probably for the time being cut the NASA budget, but restore it within a year or two...we've got bigger priorities like Social Security, Medicare, Federal Funding for Education, Infrastructure, Under-Taxation, etc.

Okay, bear with me here, but how about we sell -wait for it- poor people? Think about the possibilities, we could have a market in Europe. BAM. Asia. BAM Africa., eh, well maybe not there. But Australia BAM. Poor American people, house decorations maybe? Christmas trees? Lamp stands, you name. There's money to be made there, you mark my words.

I can live with ten percent, but I also get a share of the hookers and stock options.

This is both true and false. Although many Western Socialists and Communists tend to have a hard on for Sovietism, there are those that don't. However, many E. European Socialists and Communists lived in the SovBloc. I personally lived under the boot of Ceasescu's tyranny, and I fully support Socialism.

But of course, I am a non-Marxist Libertarian Socialist. So I don't represent the majority.


@OP: I hope Bachmann wins. Just because I'd love to see how she intends to run against Obama.

Considering his regime had my birth parents killed, no. I'm not a terribly big fan.

It's one of my largest problems with the Romanian government, and the new Communist Party. The former has a lot of former regime personnel and the latter are ardent Neo-Stalinists who'd fellate Ceasescu's corpse if given the chance.

We can Certanly Afford a Space Program.using SpaceX Hardware We could Send Humans To Mars For Half the Price of A Space Shuttle Launch.The Same Approach and hardware set could Do Lunar landings, Asteroid Landings, Venus Flyby, ISS Missions, Missions to The James Webb Space Telescope.Plus What he is doing is spending the money without any programs.Upgrading the shuttle infrastructer when no shuttles are launching?The Main Reason I whant Gingrich is because of the Mars Prize.A 20 billion Dollar Prize that Would GO to The First Private organization to land on Mars.At Nasa Current Budget The Prize could Represent less than 10% of The Budget.I would Prefer a JFK Mars By 2020 aproach but This Is certenly better than Nothing (Nothing being obamas Plan)
