HOTR on National Budget

"When [a] country doesn’t have to pay for massive drug addiction, Third World diseases, rampant crime, billions in foreign aid to puppet governments around the world, and maintaining armies of occupation over sullen Third World conquered nations, then there’s more for little extras like a space program. When that country doesn’t have gargantuan multi-national corporations gorging themselves on the national treasury, then it’s astounding what a chunk of change becomes available for other things."
