I hope the weather is good...Why don't Obama & the Democrat Congress just raise taxes to ensure good weather for the launch?

Sorry you missed it the other night. Did you see the
Space X launch? Slick as a whistle.
Everyone bums out on the shuttle but having the capability
to hold three times like this is pretty amazing.
I don’t think the Saturn boosters could have taken this kind
of quick turnaround.
See you tomorrow for the launch.

Why don't Obama & the Democrat Congress just raise taxes to ensure good weather for the launch? It might be lightning associated with Global Warming that NASA's own James Hansen has been ranting about.
According to Hansen we only 3 1/2 years left before it is too late.
To be on the safe side better double those tax increases just to be sure.

There's a 60 percent chance that weather will be acceptable for launch of Endeavour today or a 40 percent chance conditions will again cause a scrub, according to the briefing given to mission managers this morning.
The forecast for the 6:03 p.m. EDT liftoff time includes showers and thunderstorms inland, a few clouds at 3,000 feet, scattered clouds at 8,000 feet and 25,000 feet, visibility of 7 miles, launch pad winds from the southeast at 8 peaking to 12 knots and a temperature of 83 degrees F.

Liquid hydrogen loading to 100 percent has been completed. The tank will be replenished through the rest of the countdown to replace the supercold propellant that naturally boils away.

What if all of the heavier hitting (thrust) rocket launches throughout history have actually contributed to the shifting of the earth’s axis?
