What is unbelievable is that the government keeps spending the same amount of money 'despite' the US heading into a recession.

A lot of people depend on farming for substinance and the US requires it to feed their population. In the middle of a recession you do not cut funding to projects in those areas to send people to space.

I suppose its alright to fund a curriculum development to study mariachi music too, right?
I only posted a 'few' examples of pork that 'could' be cut from the budget. I'm sure if someone did some more research they could find billions being spent on less important things than NASA 'or' education.
