The real fact is that budget deficits in upcoming years will only be solved by cutting military, welfare, medicare, and social security spending.
The fact is that basically all other spending is a rounding error compared to those big four items.
People are exactly right. Even completely zeroing out NASA funding would have, in practical measures, absolutely NO impact on the national debt.
The other ironic thing is that NASA, by far, is one of the few federal agencies that actually can lead to technology and science findings that truly benefit the American people.
But the idea that NASA is getting an increase, even though it is a slight one, is good news in my book.
