Default Hillary Clinton Declares War on Space Exploration

"Mark R. Whittington" wrote:

Recently, Senator Hillary Clinton revealed her science agenda. Of
great interest to people involved in making and debating space policy
were the three bullets concerning the space program. To be brief and
to the point, Hillary's agenda would be terrible news for anyone who
supports space exploration and space commerce.

Wow -- you've got a serious axe to grind. She's planning an ambitious
space exploration program, reversing funding cuts to NASA's R&D budget,
and funding NASA's Earth Sciences program, and this is "declaring war on
space exploration," is it?

Out of curiosity, what would you call it if she proposed to actually
*reduce* NASA's budget?
