The U.S. deficit spent to send a man to the moon. It made kids in 5th grade proud to be an American.

The U.S. deficit spends on foreign aid. Much of it is used to buy weapons and medications from U.S. companies. Failure to continue foreign aid means contracts will be cancelled and jobs eliminated.

The jury is way out on the causes of global warming, let alone what if anything can be done about it.

What do we get with Foreign Aid?

Why should America have to borrow money from china to give to other nations?

Why shouldn't we go back to the moon?
Why shouldn't we know what exists on our own planet in the depths of the seas and the unexplored rain forests?

Either give the money to nerds at NASA or send it along to welfare clients who will spend the nation into prosperity.

It'll never happen, uncle sam loves creating wars and selling weapons, drug dealing, killing unfavored governments, consume food and oil too much.. All that, costs money. Money buys you love and an unrelenting amount of hate. Thats why we have the NSA.

Global warming is measured by science, therefore if it is a lie, then science must also be a lie, but that argument is not logical therefore, it cannot be correct.
