    Then give them clear rules, not the rubbish they have, require a court to send them a list that they must disable. It is not correct to have them have to deal with the vagueness and decide what to do in all situaitons.

    Actually he is using half facts. The budgets went up during the bush era due to the dems having congress, and the reverse during the clinton administration. The president does not have much control over the budget itself, his entire argument makes it out to be the case that they do.

    I love how you chose part of a paragraph, and even part of the sentence so it loses all context:

    And last month, the Government Accountability Office found that, thanks to the lack of a credible schedule for the project as a whole, even those estimates are not reliable. Given the situation, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D–CA), the chair of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, warned at a 9 April subcommittee hearing that the U.S. program could be in jeopardy. "This may be an opportunity to experience the power of the purse," she said.

    The bold gives the statement needed context and shows that she does not necessarily want to shut it down, and it does not even show that she is on board at this momement. And even still you will note that I mentioned her in my statement.

    Take a look at the article, the only person it actually mentions specifically as trying to do this is a republican. I am not saying no dems are on board (feindstein said it could be an opportunity for the dems to close some purse strings itself), but your broad statement there fails miserably.

    s the subcommittee followed through on that threat, even a senator from a state directly involved in the U.S. ITER project spoke in favor of ending it. U.S. ITER has its headquarters at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. Nevertheless, at a 17 June hearing on the budget bill covering DOE, Senator Lamar Alexander (R–TN), the ranking member on the Energy and Water Subcommittee, said that ITER hasn’t shown the progress it should. "We’ve withdrawn funding for the program," he said, and "that saves taxpayers $75 million this year, and at least $3.9 billion, and potentially $6.5 billion, over the life of the project.”

    It does not define it in any way other than what is in the dictionary. What it chooses is the scope of what costs it wants to see if it pays back. In addition plenty of people try to objectively measure. I dont know how many times a skeptic against a tech will talk about how the costs to to produce a given item is more than the benefits that it saves, batteries are one such item....
