Bush submitted a proposal in his 3.1 trillion dollar budget (thru 09) 28 billion a year to nuclear weapons research anually. So our tax dollars are wasted anyway. Why not waste some more on something beneficial, but of course there could be money funneled out of some these other frivolous spending binges and put to better use.
Also, those handpicked cutbuddy oil lobbyists Bush has appointed to Dept. of the Interior need to be fired. These guys really can't do there job. See the link below.
