Instead Obama delivered a US$6 billion boost in NASA's budget, then offset the cancellation of a mission that would once again send men to the moon by announcing a new program to land astronauts on Mars... and drop in on an asteroid as well.
Over the course of my days on this remarkable planet of ours, I have had the opportunity to get to know all manner of personality types. One of the most troubled have been the serial spenders... deluded individuals that simply can't help but buy all that their hearts desire, no matter how much pain results from their debt-financed spending. That describes today's political class.
Unless and until you start hearing the president making speeches about not going to Mars, followed by wishing legions of negative-equity houseowners who bought over their heads and government employees the best of luck as they start to toss away their their credit cards and enter the private sector, the only conclusion to be drawn is that a space ship isn't the only thing headed for outer space, but government debt as well.
This spending is unsustainable...
