tomzyk's Journal: I hate reading the news... the Budget and Space

I read this article this morning:
"How Hydrogen Can Save America"

and this afternoon (just hours later), I read this:
"U.S. House set to pass $550 billion tax cut"

To save you time/effort of reading them:
          1. The first article is about proposing that the US govt spend around $100 billion (roughly the same amount we spent on Kennedy's space program in "today's dollars") to seriously jump-start the hydrogen production in the automobile industry [to begin to replace oil] over the next 10 years.
          2. The second article is... well, just read the title of it.

Grrrrrrrrrr!!!! Forget the HUGE tax cut. Redistribute some of that money and put it where it could be of some use! The next President I elect will be someone who supports hyrdrogen [over oil] and wants to put more money into the space elevator [so that we could get rid of the shuttle/rocket program almost altogether]. You can read a little about that [the space elevator] in the same issue of WIRED here
