> No. Let's first feed the homeless and struggling, and fix the crisis that are affecting ordinary people.

I may be wrong, but it's not money that's the problem; there's plenty of money. (I would also point out the NASA budget is a miniscule spec of dust compared to the total budget.)

It seems to me the problem is organization and politics - actually doing the right things to address these problems.

It's like, say, Microsoft. They can't run a successful project to save their lives. This is an organizational and cultural problem. Large organization, lots of politics, enough money that success or failure is not critical to survival.

> Governments should have been able to do that up until now. Instead the government has been shipping money overseas and spending it on foreigners for far too long.

In what ways?

Article 1, Section 8 of the constitution says that congress, in addition to having the power to raise taxes and borrow and regulating commerce, is charged "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts." This is listed before their ability to declare war and fund the military. And listed before their ability to make law.

Art and science funding is listed before funding the military and law making as a responsibility of congress. That was written in that order intentionally.

The administration is cutting public services so they can say there’s enough of a budget surplus to cut taxes, especially on the top end. If you look at the current bill being assembled, the cuts are targeted at the kind of programs you’re talking about, cutting things like Medicaid and SNAP to lower taxes with most of the benefits going to the higher tax brackets.

the government that slashes your science budget is the same government that would never feed the homeless, unless it was -to the sharks.

Funding of arts is not why we have homelessness. This is a poor false dichotomy.

What is the Trump administration doing to feed the homeless and struggling?

Programs like SNAP benefits (a.k.a. food stamps) have always been top of the list of what Republicans want to cut.
