<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 1060874, member: 23626&quot;]What expenditures made by NASA were made exclusively here in the USA. Sorry, but pork projects like a bridge to nowhere or a library building or a rocket put money into local economies. The only thing that supports some towns is a military base. Since privatization ignores all the human factor in pursuit of maximum profits, it&#039;s not necessairily a good thing. I have read that there is not any gun powder factories remaining in the US. Now, when all the companies and factories move to places where labor is cheap, what happens when some Banana Republic dictator or Imam decides to turn off the tap ? Some things are beyond measuring in dollars and cents. If my neighbors are working and paying taxes, it is a better life for me than if all products are made abroad and nobody has a job. That my friends is the long and short of it. We take care of Americans, then we worry avbout everyone else. At least that&#039;s what we should be doing.
