I like Tyson's point that if the Federal budget was a $1 bill, the NASA slice of that wouldn't even include any ink. IMO, the investment we have made in space exploration has been returned millions of times over.

During a trip through Colorado in December of last year, President Obama spoke of his intention to implement his economic policies with or without the approval of Congress. Said Obama, “And where Congress is not willing to act, we’re going to go ahead and do it ourselves.” It now appears that such a mindset applies not only to economic matters but to the distribution of foreign aid as well--in particular, foreign military aid for the Muslim Brotherhood, who now hold the reigns in Egypt.
Congress has restricted and, in fact, halted military aid to Egypt until and “unless the State Department certifies that Egypt is making progress on basic freedoms and human rights.” After all, Christians and other practitioners of non-Islamic religions have had a tough go of it there. And of course, many Egyptian officials harbor such hatred toward the U.S. that one of the candidates for the Egyptian presidency has openly referred to America as the “infidel country” in media interviews.
Nevertheless, the news breaking now is that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will soon announce that President Obama will “resume funding for Egypt’s military, despite Congressional restrictions and objections from human rights and democracy advocates.”
Even Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-VT), a man with whom I’ve never agreed on anything, sees the foolishness of this endeavor: “I believe [sending the aid] would be a mistake. The new [restrictions were] intended to put the United States squarely on the side of the Egyptian people who seek a civilian government that respects fundamental freedoms and the rule of law, and to clearly define the terms of our future relations with the Egyptian military.”
Who knows; perhaps the Obama administration can also circumvent Congress and give the Iranians some nuclear materials or give Hamas some advanced weaponry? I know both ideas sound crazy, but they’re no crazier than giving $1.5 billion in military aid to the Muslim Brotherhood.


We didn't just stop dreaming. We just keep on crapping in our pant's.

90% of Americans are clueless as to whats going on behind the scenes......and if he's allowed 4 more years and without his concern of having to run another campaign.....you ain't seen nothing yet. This Country will be changed radically... The 90% better wake up FAST.....
I pray I am wrong....I haven't stopped dreaming....

What does "This Country wil be changed radically" mean? Specifically how would it be changed for the worse which is what you are suggesting?

I drill wells for a living, more precisly we do the pump work. I've had quite a few customers looking to install hand pumps on their wells in case the lights go out long term. I've even got one couple on city water that is going to drill a new well, probably around a 10k investment. People are expecting the system to colapse. I don't see people packing up and moving to a hole in North Dakota, but they are quietly prepairing.
