Budget for NASA: $15 Billion Budget for Education: $61 Billion Budget for Dept of Transportation: $56 Billion
In 2003, the US had to pay $318 Billion for the interest on its national deficit. Yes, that's right. The INTEREST.
It is estimated, the interest for this year could be around $400 Billion.
With $400 Billion, you could put a man on Mars and still have $200 Billion left over, which could be used to give everyone a free college education, give free health care to whoever needs it, rebuild all bridges and roads and fix the national electric grid and still have change left over.
All of those opportunities are being squandered by a credit card President.

"There is no creator" - the Dalai Lama. These are words of common sense, and it tells me that "spirituality" has nothing in particular to do with a belief in the supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael (the 'Whiner') Savage so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
