Re:Just Cancel the Shuttle Program (Score 1)

Yes, we should cancel the high tech gov't programs wherein the vast majority of what we all use today has its origins, if not conceptually then made practical by application. Oust those wasteful mid-level enginners and scientists with 1.5 kids and 2.0 mortgages and a college tuition bill. Instead give their money to unemployable gin-swilling bastard factories and their 6 children by 5 different absentee males. That's the wise inventment for the futute of this country, not some silly technology like transistors, lasers, radars, radios, pumps, optics, computers, or jet engines. While we are at it, we can eliminate the Defense Dept also. Surrender half the country to Mexico, and the other half to Canada. Just think of all the free abortions and needles you could buy with that!
