Money, Money, Money...
Wednesday, 14 January 2004 10:17So, George W Bush wants to take America back to the Moon and then onto Mars.
Question Georgie: Where do you intend to get the money from? You've already decimated the US budget surplus with your illegal war (not that you're a legal president anyway...) and plunged the next generation of your people into financial uncertainty and now you want to spend even more of their money to send people to the Moon?
Newsflash: You lot have already been there and there are far more important issues facing your country than going to the Moon or Mars. If you had billions to spare, I'd be all for it, but you don't. Your people need your help, not your bread and circuses.
Here endeth the politics.
Thanks to everyone who replied to my last post- I really do appreciate it. I'd like to say I feel better, but I don't much and probably won't until the end of the month when, for better or worse, it'll be resolved. I at least have a couple of ideas about stories I could do, so maybe it'll be OK. The question is when I'll deign to actually do anything about them.
The battle between my demons and my better angels really is a bitch.
PS: Thanks to the 'management' of fandom_scruples- go on and be honest- you did it just to cheer little ol' me up, didntcha?
