Go Right Ahead

So Nasa decides to fly essentially a bomb into the moon and capture it’s particles and see if there is any traces of water that comes from it.  It’s all over the news.  Some people actually care that what they are blowing costs 97 million dollars.  “It’s your tax dollars they’re just wasting.”  WAISTING? You want to talk to us about the government wasting money?  Plus what about those space shuttles that blew up?  Sure it wasn’t done on purpose but it still happened and those were the people’s tax dollars.  I hate to do it but I’m going to send you to a few websites to show government wasting money.  

This first one shows you just how much funding NASA really gets.  Notice the percentage of Federal Budget that they recieve. Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_Budget  Yea thats sooo much.

Ok so lets look at what the budget has been over the last few years.

Yea.. Tell me that NASA is taking all our tax money. 

Now these next two are my favorite.  They are just a sample of what government wasteful spending really is.

I say continue on NASA.  Enjoy all the money you can spend.  97 million adds up to nothing compared to all wastefulness of congress.  So honestly after knowing how much money is thrown around and “lost” in our beloved government, WHO CARES if NASA uses our money for science?  At least we know what it’s being used for and we’ll be told the results.
