We must focus our limited resources where they will most be effective, by reorienting NASA's mission back toward human space flight.

Entitlement programs along with other mandatory spending consume roughly 60 percent of the Federal budget.

We all know that the Social Security trust fund will be exhausted by 2037, which means every retiree will see a 22 percent cut in benefits.
