Default Hillary Clinton Declares War on Space Exploration

Clinton gets credit for being the first to tee up the subject. But
she promised something to everyone and said not a word about topline
budget or funding sources. There's nothing there anyone can hold her
to.


Perhaps she's just being as nice of election vote getter as she can
muster. Wouldn't you? (what good are the best of intentions if you're
not in charge?)

If she can get us mostly out of this never ending war with those oily
Muslims, perhaps we'll not be paying $10/gallon by this time next
year, and then we'll have lots of spare loot for doing all sorts of
nifty stuff in space. Wouldn't you silly folks like to pay less than
$2/gallon for your road fuel, and of low sulphur home heating oil at
not more than $1.50/gallon, and subsequently paying less for most of
everything else?
