NASA is the reason we can’t feed people

If you rightly figured out this is COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT, kudos to you! People who think that science funding is the problem should start getting educated about the truth so that they can get to the heart of the issue. Here are some facts to get started with:

1. NASA’s proposed 2010 budget is 1.6% of the US’s annual military/defense spending. That’s $18 billion v. $1.14 trillion.
2. In 2009, the Military’s budget contained $9.4 billion for weapons alone. That same amount could end world hunger according to former US UN Ambassador, George McGovern.

Based on these facts alone, I think it’s pretty clear why we can’t feed people. It’s not because we’re stargazing. It’s because we’re bombing people.
