This is the real solution to healthcare costs and quality. Instead of the government handing hospitals a blank check for low quality services in a single payer

This is the real solution to healthcare costs and quality. Instead of the government handing hospitals a blank check for low quality services in a single payer scenario, we allow price transparency, competition and the free market to drive down costs and increase quality. Hate him if you want, but this was a huge accomplishment by Trump that has just started to take effect. If you think the government can bring down the cost of anything please see education and NASA for great examples.

You had to know you'd be downvoted mercilessly for that, comrade.

  NASA’s budget for 2022 is about $24 billion or roughly $145-$150 per working person. Perhaps a lot of money depending on what you think should be prioritized. personally I think it’s hard to argue that they aren’t delivering something of high value to humanity, especially recently with the success of the JWST. And maybe very especially compared to other agencies.

    NASA is wasting the bulk of their funding in an obsolete launch system. Over the he past 50 years they have held back any economical progress in access to space. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/nasas-artemis-rocket-is-a-gigantic-waste-of-money/2022/09/04/8b5dc4d8-2c6d-11ed-bcc6-0874b26ae296_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/nasas-artemis-rocket...

      > NASA is wasting the bulk of their funding SLS is expensive, but it's nowhere close to the bulk of NASA's funding. It's about 10%.

      ???? NASA brought us SpaceX and other competitive private space companies... can't blame them when Obama got rid of the budget for these wasteful things then they had to back peddle because of politics ... "jobs" lost in all those states... basically a socialist program for those workers to have a job. "Over the he past 50 years they have held back any economical progress in access to space." without NASA there wouldn't be any SpaceX's and others doing space projects ....
