This is somewhat analogous to the way that perfectly good buildings are sometimes demolished simply because the taxes are too high (demolished not much differently than other buildings which are in terminal disrepair). When you think about it, every other political party up until now has had the fiscal responsibility to be able to afford more research satellites like this, not less. In effect this is economically behaving like the highest-tax environment that has ever been seen in anybody's lifetime, now snowballing in a way that good Republicans & Democrats have never allowed to occur before.
