[QUOTE="brett636, post: 861745, member: 249"] 1% here 1% there, whatever % of tax dollars that go to supporting illegal aliens, it all adds up. According to some of the "experts", SS would be fine if it was operated as it was intended. I'm sure there are varying factors that play into the whole scenario that can make the stability fluctuate. Medicare/Medicaid are needed programs, that need some revamping and modifying and elimination of waste. IMO, I would rather my tax dollars go to old people that need and deserve it than to spend it for space exploration with the end goal to be able for man to live in outer space. Don't get me wrong, I do not want one penny going out to deadbeats that are generational leaches on society but some people can not help themselves without someone also helping them.[/QUOTE] It does add up but NASA is not the cornerstone of our problem.
