The Wrong Kind Of Partisan
On Sat, 24 Jan 2004 08:54:27 -0800 (PST), in a place far, far away,
Jim Kingdon made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: the Dems say they want to complete, and continue to support, the Bill Clinton International Space Station. Do you mean the Ronald Reagan Space Station? Actually, ISS is more of a Clinton station. Freedom, which would have been at 28.5 degrees, was the Reagan station--it died in 1993. |

news I doubt it. The Democrats have always (in recent times, anyway) opposed more money for NASA. During the Clinton years, NASA funding was flat (slightly declining, I think). Both, actually. :-) It was flat in current-year dollars, and declining in constant-year dollars. FY NASA Budget ($M) Current FY2004$ year $ 1993 $14,305 $17,339 Last Bush-41 budget 1994 $13,695 $16,248 First Clinton budget 1995 $13,378 $15,535 1996 $13,881 $15,804 1997 $14,360 $16,036 1998 $14,206 $15,643 1999 $13,664 $14,848 2000 $13,442 $14,331 2001 $14,095 $14,668 Last Clinton budget Clinton raised NASA's budget three times, and cut it five times. Two of the three increases (FY97 and FY01) were proposed in election years. The overall cut was about 1.5% in current-year dollars, 15% in constant-year dollars. -- JRF Reply-to address spam-proofed - to reply by E-mail, check "Organization" (I am not assimilated) and think one step ahead of IBM. |
