You don't have a concern over it. You want to cut money and then spend those savings on ****ing space exploration. I hate to tell you but -1 + 1 = 0.
"...and veterans receiving disability and pensions." Yeah, awesome bro.
Did I ever claim they did? I even said there would probably be wars and **** before that even happened. My comment about space uniting us was back when Dutch was talking about aliens.
You seem to have a hard time arguing the correct points with the right people this morning.
You hit me on wanting to live on Mars when I never said that.
You hit me on ignoring our problems here when I never said that.
That was a one time payment to anyone on Social Security and VA benefits. It was not related to their healthcare, monthly benefits, counseling, medications or anything else. It was a political ploy to get people on board.
Where did I ever imply that every dollar we save from cuts should be spent on something else.
Lets say the cuts I wanted save 500 billion. I am not askign to spend that much. We can't we get private entities involved and we add 5 billion?
I'm glad to know that not reaching the same conclussions you do about things means I do not care. YOu should run for politics.
Go mow your lawn.
In the short term we aren't going to do any of that because we don't yet have the knowledge to do it in a meaningful way. We're doing no more than dipping our toe in the waters of space. We have a long way to go before we can really swim ion the ocean. I don't think space exploration is going to be anything but a massive draw on resources for well over 100 years.
It's also interesting how these moons of Jupiter can have liquid water and molten cores. They typically have somewhat elliptical orbits and as they rotate on their own axis and spin around Jupiter the massive gravitational force of Jupiter causes them to distort (like if you were to squeeze a beach ball). The distortion causes friction within the moon, enough so to keep the core molten or water under the icy surface in a liquid state.
Solid post. Way to back up your view. I agree with a lot of these cuts(or at least reevaluation), especially in the first half of the list. Now if we could just get Obama or Romney on board....

Our society plugging money into space exploration (I'm fine it's from private funds), is the equivalent of of my uncle who's on welfare and uses his allowance on lottery tickets.
Thank you for ignoring the whole part about cutting useless spending and all of that. Well done Wes.

No I read it. Just summing things up.
I'm just giving you a hard time.
I think things that we should spend money on are:
Education
First responders
Medical research
Space exploration
Military (within reason)
Boarders
Veteran aid programs
Food programs
Community service programs to get communities involved and have them solve their own problems
After school programs
Job training...
Things we should not be spending federal money on:
Benefits for congress
Unreasonable military spending
Afghanistan
Iraq
High speed rail (our society is not built for it to be effective)
Most foreign aide (give it to friends such as Britian, Japan, South Korea, AUstralia, Poland...not China, N. Korea, Palestine...)
Fighting marijuana
Amtrak
One time 250 payments...

The first offical commercial space flight took off today. SPace X launched a "Dargon Capsule" to the International Spacestation. It is a robotic craft with over 1,000 lbs. of supplies. Kind of cool to see the birth of commercial space flight.
