alright so... the econm yis in shamble's we are in a war, spending plenty of money on terrorism and homeland security. what should we do to help out in this time of need.... hmm.... I KNOW... let's restart the space program

The president wants to aggressively reinvigorate the space program, still reeling from the Columbia tragedy nearly one year ago, said the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity.
he wants to spend billions to put a science base on the moon, more mars rovers and eventually men on mars... as much as i think space exploration is interesting and may help us unravel the secrets of our universe... is now really the time to spend this money? on top of that... it seems odd that all bush did the first three years in office was take vacations and start wars... however... now that 2004 has started he is proposing all sorts of plans and starting all sorts of money spending plans
