Hilarious: A private company lands spacecraft on the Moon with NASA funding, that is, taxpayers’ money. At the same time, no free healthcare, no free education for the taxpayers. We live in the era of utter absurdity and fraud.

  3. Sometimes I’m glad we don’t have “free” shit(whatever that means) because I enjoy pathetic people like this struggling. I’ll take care of myself way before I let someone like this get a dime of my work.

    Entitlement

  4. I think it’d be better to bring attention to the fact that Medicare and Medicaid could already afford us these things but a certain group keeps sabotaging the legislation. Further the opposite group doesn’t actually care, just enough to keep those votes.

  5. I would much rather spend money on nasa than healthcare. The problem with healthcare in the US is not money. The US already spends more money on healthcare than any other nation. Why do you think a few extra million will make a difference?

    The problem with healthcare is no price discovery. Too much government interference.

  6. What exactly do you mean by free?

    Free implies we don’t have to pay for it. We would pay for both via taxes, in fact most public schools are free at point of service.

    Many states have “free” state college programs. Again paid for with taxes.

    Universal healthcare would shift premiums to taxes.

    Nothing is free. For instance Google search isn’t really free. You pay for it with your personal data and browsing habits which are sold and business pay to have their stuff pop up in the search.

    Not sure why NASA funding going to private companies is an issue so long as there is oversight on that funding.

  8. Oh shit I didn’t know they landed on the moon yesterday. Hell yeah.

  9. We absolutely need to do both…and could certainly afford it.

  10. So much wrong with this. Like, we should have healthcare, but we do have free education, just not free higher education, unless you count community colleges. But pointing to the meager budget of NASA as the culprit of massive waste vs military spending is a joke. The Pentagon has failed an audit for 6 years in a row now, FFS.

  11. What irritates me the most is I get no free lunch either. That should be a right!

    How about the “Free lunch tax credit”?
