you think that once that tax is enacted it would actually be used for NASA and NASA only... kinda like in Virginia when they told us that the LOTTO would solve our education budget problems... Yeah, it sounded like a great idea then, but how much money went from the lotto to education? Not a significant percentage and with that I'm being generous...
The moral? Never trust a politician. Especially not one who can only think about the money in your wallet...
So far I have also not seen any discussion on why we should throw more funding at an agency that has really lacked direction in the last couple of years. I'm all for the idea of NASA (and having them be well funded), but I'd rather my tax dollars get used efficiently, not squandered on budget overruns from a station that won't even serve its intended function.
