I like science and all, but this guy's budget director just said a few days ago that we need to cut a few hundred million towards feeding kids because tax payers don't want their taxes wasted.


Would that single mom of 2 from Detroit really want this over her kids getting food and after school programs?

That seems a little misleading.

According to ABC, the bill is for NASA's 2017 budget which adds exploring Mars to its list of goals. They also quoted Ted Cruz stating it's the first such bill in seven years. Where the hell was NASA getting their funding?

Also, $20 billion for NASA isn't even half of the proposed increase in (unnecessary) military spending.

PS Although that's a shitload of meals on wheels.
