They spend 0.5 of 1% of their budget on NASA....it's a paltry drop in the bucket. I've seen people complain about this and say look at the health system and education cuts etc etc. If they didn't spend the $1trillion a year trying to fight unwanted wars and take countries over, they wouldn't be in the mess that they are. They'd also be in better condition if they put a stop to their financial institutions carrying on like they did and still do.
In any case, they need someone with a bit of courage and vision to actually set an agenda and push for things to happen. Give NASA something to work with instead of strangling it all the time.
