Please help me understand why a nation with a fledgling economy that is trillions of dollars in debt spend billions of dollars on something that was done 50 years ago?

Up next: Ass recognition for humans
US is financially fledgling and we're pumping over $20B/year into this behemoth money pit called NASA to tell us there is another Earth we'll never get to. We can barely get to Mars!
Let's focus on problems here!
Quality of life is something to achieve with the inclusion that these basic needs are met. If not, the quality of life is a personal opinion and can be interpreted in any way, from conservative, to ridiculous.
Even more entertaining is all of the discussions of those who have 'real' degrees and who are 'not like this man'. They believe he must be a ignorant bureaucrat who lucked his way to the top. They believe it's inconceivable that schools are to blame, even though many are sold a bill of goods from schools that degrees set the social classes apart from others and they really are more human than others. While in fact, schools have become one of the most clever profit centers ever created. While there, you are indoctrinated to believe only those going through here are human. So, when you go out to the world, only hire those from here (plug for more school business!)
Remember, some of the most financial successful people in the US, in the world, do not/did not have degrees > Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuck, the list goes on. Although, my personal believe is financial success is not the true success (even stated by Gates recently)
This belief that you must be part of academia to be innovative and this near prejudice of non-academia citizens is appalling.
Learn what this man is saying rather that trying to prove him wrong and self-justifying. Yes, we can count, read, apply studied principles learned from books and media. His point is, are we the principle authors? Are we the ones innovating, improving society by our ideas, helping our fellow man/woman by our work? If not, perhaps something IS missing from our schools. Perhaps that is part of the problem. Let's fix it and make our world a better place.
I really liked the way elance gets you in touch with the developer and handles payment really well. Also, the communication system worked well. Would do it again.
Oh, I like the site too.
Couple of thoughts:
The colors are a bit confusing. I understand the year, but a legend might help.
Would be cool to add search terms to limit models.
Would be nice to easily change location.
Other than that, really excellent idea and nice implementation!
We use ParishSoft as a church management system for our church. Even thought it's MSAccess based, it's better than I would have expected. Also, since many churches are on a tight budget, including us, it works well for that. Could get some ideas there.
