I'd rather see the unemployment rate go down, which will drive the economy up and then you can have your tax cut...hence, I think it is a great idea. If you just stop and think about how much technology that we use in everyday life that has come from the space program, it boggles the mind. Look at the Velcro manufacturing business, for one example.
You're gonna have to explain this to me (how it was the result of space exploration).
George de Mestral, a Swiss inventor, got the idea from studying burrs that got stuck in his dogs fur. Velcro was patented in 1955. It was dependant on Nylon, developed back in 1937.
