[amsat-bb] Re: A rose is a rose... is a rose

      When these kinds of comments come up, I often wonder how many people actually 
understand how the US economy works.  I spend some time to put together some 
view points of how the FED is affecting what's happening and how the "basis of 
the FED" as a mechanism is not really working to manage the complexities of our 
economy.  There are things all over youtube.com which are records of senate and 
congressional committee sessions, historical videos, documentaries etc.  If you 
are not really sure how the FED works and what all the "troubles" of the economy 
in the U.S. and the world (because many countries chose to tie themselves to our 
currency system), visible my Google+ post that I've put up and look around at 
some of the videos I've linked to.

Bob, Politicians are the same the world over.
I note that some of your Politicians seem paranoid about the USA's biggest trading partner, Beijing. I don't mind betting that in a few years time your Politicians will be falling over themselves to vote billions of tax dollars to the Space program to prevent the US falling into 3rd place behind the Russian Federation and Beijing.

,,,it now lists keps for 'Radioscaf-B'. (no

I chuckle.
We in the USA have virtually abandoned manned space. We
have no manned space
flight vehicles because all we do is squabble with the
attention span of 2
year olds in our politics and long term outlooks.  All
our politicians do is
worry about their re-election in the next 2 years.
They cannot face the
really big issues that need to be solved without
jeopardizing their
re-election by the me-first, screw-them electorate.
The voters only have
the attention span from one radio talk show to the next.
So since the Russians are now the only manned space program
that can provide
the ride, I guess they get to call it whatever they
want.  Our guys worked
VERY HARD to build it and deliver it against unbelieveable
pressures and
bureaucratic issues, but the only way to get it to ISS was
to give it to the
Russians.
Sigh...
