And rightly so!

Yes!!!

The total cost of JWST is the equivalent of two weeks
Iraq's war (6.5 billion vs around 12 billion per month for Iraq)

Now the U.S. will be able to go on spending for two weeks more!

GREAT!

The total cost is also 7% of the AIG bailout. Now the U.S.
will be able to throw a bit MORE money to those companies. THAT is
money well spent.

Stop spending in astronomy, science, etc. Who cares what lies beyond?

Astronomy has no practical significance. How many dead Iraqis
has the Hubble scope brought us?

There wasn't a single dead person because of Hubble, nothing was
destroyed. This is an unsustainable path and must be scrapped
immediately.
