In their continuing effort to kill jobs and thwart science,

the Pubs are trying to cut NASA's budget, the part that studies the earth's moisture, atmosphere and climate, by over 25 %.

NASA's 2016 budget would dedicate $1.947 billion of its total funds to the official study of earth. The version in Congress would chop that allotment down to $1.45 billion.

NASA would feel a 25 percent cut. Yes, it's a space agency, but it also works to understand our home planet. NASA currently operates a fleet of 20 Earth-facing satellites, which measure and study everything from ocean currents to rainfall to atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

Yup, if it concerns jobs or science, the Pubs are against it. BUT, if you want a new, multibillion dollar weapons system, they'll throw money at it. Nothing new here, but sickening just the same.
