Priorities

Cost of War in Iraq: $3 Trillion

Cost of Bush Tax Cuts: $1 Trillion

Cost of Curiosity Mars Rover: $2.5 Billion

Imagine what NASA could have done with that kind of funding. Neil DeGrasse Tyson was right, NASA inspires us to dream. Kids will see how JPL landed the rover and think “I want to do that!” Hell, that’s what I thought. But instead of properly funding NASA, we blow everything on pointless, dumb-ass wars and giveaways to campaign contributors.
