Some thoughts from Chris Muir. I had similar ones a few months ago.
[Update a couple minutes later]
Alan K. Henderson has further thoughts.

Sadly, Muir and Henderson seem to imply as if NASA isnt well funded.
Actually, it receives comparetively ginormous amounts of money every year, when compared to NIH, NSF and the like.

All of them, combined, and let’s throw in the entire DoD just for the humor that’s in it, receive less than a drop in a bucket compared to the entitlement programs. While government-funded non-defense science is of questionable legality (and wisdom; witness the politicization of the AGW debate), the entitlement programs are clearly unconstitutional on anything but a mistaken reading of the Preamble PLUS a total disregard of the rest of the document. But which sets of programs do you think will get cut first? It’s like a corrupt city government laying off cops and teachers before gutting the waste and nepotism in Public Works.
Alan Henderson’s idea would only give future Obama’s something else to apologize for. One has to understand that liberal governments only steal from their own citizens and not foreigners.
The space aliens won’t be foreigners anymore when they’re assimilated into the O-perium.
Alan, imperialism from Barack Obama? Don’t you know we can’t force democracy on anyone? No blood for Helium 3! (g)
Obama is a lot of force and very little democracy, so I don’t see the problem. 🙂
