Re:How? (Score 1)

I seem to recall an article put out by the MDA before the last presidential election. The concern was, what effect would/could the outcome have on the future of the MDA. Overall, they felt confident that even if Bush lost the election, they would fair well for two reasons: 1. The MDA recieves less than 3 percent of the overall DOD budget so its not like you're going to save that much by cutting the program. 2. An overwhelming number of Americans feel that a defensive weapon system of this type is worth the price. Of course, based on the latest news, maybe they should be spending a little more here and less on offensive systems...
