Nothing you posted escapes the fact that you have NO problem with increasing the debt as long as it is for a program YOU want. That's the conservative way!
You don't really believe for a second that YOU lib's, or democrats don't want to spend on defense (Coz not too many voters in the military for liberal democrats), and instead rather spend it on food stamps, birth control for women, and un-means tested welfare for the poor and downtrodden (Coz there's plenty of votes there).
The difference between my wants for space exploration is that, last time I checked, space exploration was politically blind. Even poor and downtrodden dream about going to the stars one day. Besides, it wouldn't increase the debt if we stopped giving away our money in foreign aid, cut out funding ridiculous programs that study whether laughing a lot makes for a happier person..
