If you want to go that route, please also question the ROI on welfare, "pork" added to almost any bill, and especially the ROI on our retired reps having a full retirement and health care, with YOU and I paying for it.

PS next time you need a GPS to get around, thank the space program. Next time you get a weather forcast that allows you to move out of harms way, thank the space program. Next time some intel is gathered using satellites that keeps our country from being harmed or citizens, thank the space program.
The benefits are endless, yet we always seem to have people that use and want the system but do not want to pay for it. Please return to your cave...
