Default Letter to Congress on Near Earth Objects

I think this is important. Maybe even more important than WMD's.

Be nice if some of the other developed countries would kick in a
little of the cost factor too, wouldn't it...after all its for
their benefit and survival too...isn't it?

Why is it always America that has to do the friggin dirty work
and pay for everything? Then we turn around and get kicked
in the friggin face and spit on, after we've helped out. Frankly,
I'm sick and tired of it....10 war trips to the friggin
Eastern Hemisphere the past century is ENOUGH! ass saving, IMHO.

Playing devils advocate for a moment - are you therefore agreeing that
your taxes should rise in order to pay for this?

If not, which services should be cut so as to balance the budget?
