Are the same people here saying we should put tax dollars towards "people chasing their dreams" the same people that say we shouldn't be paying for athletes for the Olympics?

What pisses me off is when the billionaire balloonists crash, Joe Q. Public foots the bill to save his ass. This girl had to collect donations to get her attempt off the ground so I doubt she could pay for her rescue like those rich balloon guys.

How about everyone that does something risky that accomplishes nothing should be punished? What in the world would change if she actually made it? What suffering would be alleviated? What contribution to mankind would be made? What of any use would come from a 16 year old sailing around the world?
