NASA's Obsession

This is my view of the end of the world stuff. I believe the world will come to an end, when Jesus Christ says its time and not before. And I do believe that 2012 is NOT the year that Christ spoke of when he mentioned the world was going to end.

Now with that said, NASA seems to be on a debunking binge, er hope I spelled Binge right the spell checker seems to like it anyway. Over on MSNBC is yet another post debunking 2012. I ask NASA now, why are you so obsessed with debunking this story? This Urban Legend has been well debunked by NASA and many other skeptics already, why continue spending time on it.

Some will say that NASA has something to hide and that maybe so but I do not believe what NASA has to hide is about 2012. I wonder if maybe NASA is trying to get more funding from a very skeptical congress and so they want to make themselves look like they are the premier defenders of Science so they continue debunking 2012 over and over and over.

What this makes NASA look like is some obsessed person who cannot leave something alone.

NASA debunk it once, then walk away and move onto another topic. Thats what I did.

Military Spending

Many of the Republican'ts want to cut cut cut and then cut some more. But there is one area that Republican'ts want to spend spend spend and then spend a ton more. Thats the Department of Defense.

It is assumed the power that rivals the United States is China. I also include Russia and India but we will stick with China. India and Russia spend even less money on Military than China.

The United States has for its defense budget, a sum total of 2 Trillion Dollars. It is more than likely that the Military Budget is a whole lot more than 2 Trillion a year due to Black Box Budgets and off the books budgets. I have heard that these secret military budgets runs from 5 Trillion to 25 Trillion or even more.

China spends around 100 Billion Dollars on their Military. Yet their military is almost the same as our 2 Trillion Military.

I believe if we cut the Military Budget to 50 Billion a year, not only will we have a balanced budget, but also we will be running a surplus. We will be able to give the Department of Health Education etc 100 billion dollars and still have money left over. We will be able to give 1 trillion dollars to Social Security and still have money left over. We would be able to have a proper space agency with 100 billion a year being spent on space. And probably still have money left over.

How many hospitals, schools and homes have not been built simply because money for these needed projects has been tied up in Defense?

If we had a real congress, one that answers to the people not the Family Rights Movements, and/or the Heritage Foundation etc, this would not be happening. If we had a real congress people would not be homeless if we had a real congress Hospitals and Schools would be built. If we had a Real Congress our roads and streets would be in good repair. If we had a real congress... We would be running surpluses not deficits. If we had a Real Congress, John Roberts would had been impeached and removed from the Supreme Court long ago for declaring a Corporation, A person.

In 2012 please vote out the fat cats and vote in people who will defend and expand Social Security, Education, Health, and NASA.

Amateur Hour

As you get to read my blogs, you will note that I do not at all approve of giving funding to Private Space Industry. They are a corporation, let them raise the capitol themselves.

This is one of the reasons I do not like President Obama. I consider him "The Man who destroyed NASA". He gleefully signed away half of what NASA does and gave it to private space ventures which I call Amateurs.

Amateurs because they have not spent any time in space, a few have put ONE space device in extreme low orbit, and one company flew a few sub orbital flights.

NASA has 50 years experience. They know exactly what they are doing when they launch a space mission.

Now let me ask you... Who would you trust? The National Space Agency with 50 years of Experience or a Private Ventures who have little to no experience in space.
