I thought you said you could do a cost/benefit!

Where you and Cheetha get lost is.......who pays for NASA?
Right the taxpayers of America....they have no choice
In return for THEIR INVESTMENT, the advancements come at a second cost to THEM.

YES, solar technology had ben R&Red by private companies and the products are allowable to the public. But the public pays through the nose for second-rated advancement. NO, I don't fault these private companies. They did not have an over $1 billion dollars a year, on average, for R&R like NASA did. Had they had that much the advancements would today be first-rated and affordable to all, unlike today's which are affordable only to the well-off.

oh I see. I wouldn't know because like what my avatar says... I'm the elitist. I eat/drink healthy and natural stuff.... and steaks :lol:

I don't drink and eat common American food products much like Cheetos, Fruit Rolls, Capri Sun, etc.

I know about a lot of things that I don't personally use. :lol:

BTW, I don't think there's anything elite about steak eating--that's very American, especially if it's grilled outside. :D

You are totally right. The American people elected these idiots, now it is time to get rid of them. Otherwise, the people will get no benefit of their money/taxes. It is high time these "Santa Clauses" stop giving a few people "just what I ask for" and others "a lump of coal".

You are entitle to your thoughts. FYI, in the 38 years with USPS I refused to use the TSP but invested with Vanguard the whole time. I'm comfortable with a high six-figure investment. Not an elite but comfortable in retirement, I earn it!

My mom used to mix Tang, Instant Tea with Lemon, sugar, and cinnamon together to make an instant spiced tea mix at holiday time. :P
