Public support of the Spache Shuttle program is at an all-time low according to a CBS News poll.
In response, I share one of my favorite inspiring quotes with you:
Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity. It eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
-- Johnny Hart
Remember when everyone was glued to the television or the radio for a shuttle launch?
I have a great idea. Let's take all that wasted space-program money and build more prisons so we can incarcerate more people in our War On Drugs, our War On Terror, or whatever pseudo-ideological "war" that Oceania is currently waging on Eurasia or Eastasia.
While I don't agree that NASA's budget shouldn't be cut (my opinion on the space program is documented), it is shocking how much money we do shove into hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
FederalBudget.com -- look how much we put into the hateful Department of Ag! No seriously, Defense makes up a gigantic chunk. Although I was surprised to see HHS actually beat it out.
