I'm not sure it really a good idea, since people are already donating their taxed money to support their church. Why should donated money be taxed twice? Plus don't stereotype, not all churches teach literal versions of their religious histories and they do provide charity to many around the world. Most provide education that is better then that provided by state schools.
Insurance companies do not foot any of the bill. All the money comes from working people and taxpayers. Insurance companies just take a cut and pass some of it on to greedy "healthcare" corporations.
The camera should switch all intersection traffic red if a reckless driver is about to enter a busy intersection on red. This should improve safety for all. The camera should continue to issue a ticket to the reckless driver.
The camera should detect the dangerous driver about to go thru a red light and issue a ticket. At the same time, it should also keep the cross traffic light red until the reckless driver clears the intersection.
2.5 billon is really a very small amount for a country of over 300 million people with a GDP of over 15 trillion. These missions help increase human knowledge and lead to a higher standard of living for all humanity.
What does for a long time mean? During the recession of 2008?
The GDP is growing now and has been growing for a long time. Of course, during a recession the GDP is not growing that has been the case for every recession in history.
In many ways Debian and other Linux OS's are and have been ahead of MS for years. When needing to use Win7 it always feels like a step back from a Linux box.
None of what you have to say has anything to do with NASA. Your opinions are based on some other agency and yet you condem NASA. NASA is a science agency it is about scientific research to benefit mankind. What does the UAW or the auto industry have to do with NASA?
And the U.S. is falling behind. Just look around you, look at the state of the education system and American business. Business' are outsourcing not just to save money, but also to find talent that is not available in the U.S. And why do you think Bush got elected twice, if not for growing American ignorance?
16 billion is money well spent. It's only about $160 per taxpayer per year. I think I can afford that considering how much knowledge NASA research provides each year to U.S. universities. If there is waste it should be eliminiated, but cutting the budget will not automatically cut waste as you suggest. In fact it may lead to more waste and much less scientific return. All government agencies, as well as, all large private business have significant waste because of the difficulty of managing such large institutions. Even if an agency if perfectly managed it will have some waste, it just a by-product.
Your half-ass'd attitude is what leads to mis-managment of an agency with the most potential to lead humanity into a better future. NASA may have faults, but your suggested policy would cripple it even more.
It's the lack of Presidential leadership and focus that has made NASA into what it is today. The U.S. is falling further behind the rest of the world, because of greedy politicians and corporations.

That may be true but it only affects people who itemize.

If the FDA cares about safety why do they approve pink slime and transfats (until recently), anti-biotics in farm animals, etc?
It may depend if the temperature stabilizes at +200F or -157F.

Write your local politician to change this. Just a few letters make a huge difference.

Just like what you would expect from the Soviets of old -- it looks like they really did win in the end.
Obama didn't just sign it, he robo-signed it.

It's election time again. The Obama wants to get re-elected. Time for false promises again.

Your opinion is dumb.
The entire space program cost the taxpayers each about $0.50 a day. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that is expensive.
Why not just rent a car for the occasion, should be much cheaper than buying a second car.
I still see a lot of GM cars and trucks from the 80s' on the roads and in decent shape. Most American made products actually last a long time.
On the other hand, Chinese made stuff is not always very long lasting and usually poor quality, but it is very cheap.
Soviet made products, electronics and cars, did not have a good reputation in Easter Europe in the past.
Do you work at DHS?
Maybe it's because China lends billions of dollars to the "richest country in the world" every year.
"the government seems to be a little short on $$$"
Are you serious? You mean the government that spends billions on the Presidents fleet of 747s.
That would teach him. But, more than likely he'll just get a promotion to the NSA.
