Our government spending problems are solvable only when we address obvious and simple government inaction first. Like the silly paper dollar bill and the penny.
Meanwhile, if people who put 'a man on the moon' were the 'powers that be', then even the paper dollar bill, the penny, and other spending problems would be solved. The problem is a Congress so full of extremists. So extremist as to not even put a man back on the moon - the foolish Constellation and Aries program.
How's that for irony.
