QUOTE(redshift @ Jan 11 2004, 02:15 PM) . . . I am just sick of the government being run like every taxpayer is a billionaire, and getting richer. . . . Heh, I wish they WOULD run the government like every taxpayer was a billionaire. If that were the case then: 1. I would have gotten a tax cut. 2. I'd be able to hire some third-world 8-year-old to do my job for me at 1/10th the cost. 3. I'd get a $500,000 government handout to do #2. 4. My reps would actually READ my letters, and vote accordingly, instead of shitcanning them and giggling. 5. Cops wouldn't hassle me as I drove down the expressway at 120 mph in my Porsche. 6. I'd own a Porsche. Now, as an employee of a government contractor who builds rockets - I'm all for space exploration, and even a little war, when necessary (Iraq wasn't necessary - Afghanistan WAS). But Bush has absolutely NO intention on following through with this scam. Notice that the plan is to gut every NASA project not related to the "pissing contest" of going to the moon and mars. That means the ISS, and the Shuttle, probably any research satellites or probes - especially anthing that might confirm global warming or spot pollution or climate change patterns. Once all those projects are scrapped - we'll probably be about $10 Billion and halfway through the Moon project when it's killed because we've hit the limit on our national credit card. Along with Social Security and Medicare. And public education. And roads. But we'll be FORCED to spend on defense, because, of course, it's the one thing that's really, really necessary. Unless we want to learn to speak Arabic. Or Canadian. And as far as discussing politics on this board. I think it's inevitable. And I, for one, welcome it. As long as it's always labeled OT, and those who don't care for such noise steer clear of the OT discussions. |
