Romney-Ryan Release Space Policy Paper

RocketAcademy writes "The Romney-Ryan campaign has released a white paper on space policy, which observers find to be long on criticisms of the Obama Administration but short on specific recommendations. The policy promises 'a robust role for commercial space,' but it's clearly a supporting role: 'NASA will set the goals and lead the way in human space exploration.' When it comes to space, both parties put government ahead of private enterprise. Some see a parallel with the policies which are driving space companies out of California. Newt Gingrich, one of the few politicians who thinks seriously about space, says the policy is a step in the right direction but not enough."

    We must go into space and hunt the evil galactic overlord! It's only a matter... oh... I'm getting the Mormons confused with the Scientologists again aren't I? I have trouble telling all the little cults apart. You know, Evil Galactic Overlord, scriptures read from a glowing gold plate in a hat, Natalie Portman in hot grits, it's just impossible to keep up! IMPOSSIBLE, I SAY!

    Bottom line is, if you can't afford insurance, you have no business getting free health care financed by the rest of us. Find a free clinic.

    And who pays for this "free" clinic?

    Magic. Magic pays for everything. It's the new fiscal accounting model.

    Ahhh!

    So that's what's covering Obama's multi-trillion-dollar deficits!

    That must be why the Dems refuse to pass a budget - we'd see they're using handwaving and pure FUCK-US-OVER magic!

    But boy, they got to stay in power by buying votes with bigger welfare checks!

    Except that the hypocrite ended her life sucking down Social Security and Medicaid benefits.
