Space Nuts!

The news just reminded me. Why are we ending The Space Shuttle Program, our only way to get to the spacestation, you know, (the one that the U.S. pretty much paid for?) Now we are going to depend on the Russians to get us there (Thanks, President Bush.) Oh boy, where have our heads been?(rhetorical question.) We let ourselves get caught with our pants down on this one and now with our economy as it is we can't do much about it. China, compliments of our technology, are building their own space program. They are going gangbusters and they can pay for it with all the billions and billions we are paying them in interest (Thanks, President Obama.) The Chinese are already working on their "star wars" program. They have used lasers to shoot and destroy old satellites. Hum... they invaded Tibet and are repopulating it with Chinese to perform social and religious genocide (They are trying to say they have even selected the Panchen Lama which is an extremely offensive to the Tibetans, which is a very solemn and sacred event which only the Dali Llama can select, not the government of communist China.) The Tibetan plateaus contain huge amounts of uranium so enticing  to make and mount those long and short range nuclear tipped missiles. Hmm... they have the largest standing army(they dwarf ours), one billion plus, in the world, they are very secretive about their nuclear submarine program and now we have proof that they are constantly trying to invade our internets and our government and our individual lack of self-control has put them in the position to totally destroy our economy. Hmm...WHAT THE HELL ARE WE THINKING??

We need to support the private sector, as they are working furiously to get to the moon which should be our nation's next goal. How much vital minerals could be mined and even processed there that would help our country
/ Can we afford to let those be claimed by every other space faring nation? Can we really afford to allow other countries to stake their claims on the moon and stand between our country and Mars? We need to have the cuts in the space program decided by the people who work these programs with an overview by a panel of independent observers, scientists and accountants (notice I did not say czars). NASA knows what we need as a space faring country and how best to salvage it. In this tight economy we do not need to be laying off Nasa employees and those employed by 'satelitte' businesses that are scattered across the nation. Almost every state would be adversely affected.

It is imperative: we must stop spending except for the absolutely necessary and the only fair way to do it is to cut across the board. I can hear it now, but how can we ask one segment of our population to bear the brunt of this? The only logical plan is to cut and put all those monies to paying off our national debt as soon as possible. And that means every last cent of those hard earned tax dollars, starting with those unused stimulus dollars, and having the states return the funds they are not using on actual job CREATING.

Hey how about an pro-abortion tax. Say 1% of gross personal earnings. Everyone who voted for pro-abortion candidates (include Congress and the Senate) could have this tax levied on them. President Obama has all those names and addresses so it should be easy enough. That and the soda tax(Michelle Obama wants one to help with her obesity program anyway) should really make a dent in that deficit.

Just a thought.So lets' get that old blood boiling, pumping up to that brain infusing it with fresh thought. Like I said, just a thought.
