I don't see where tgerhard claimed that was a desirable outcome. I only see tgerhard reporting on the opinion others have from a position of knowledge.

I live in Michigan, half my family works for car companies one way or another, and I was and am still against the auto bailouts. Locally healthy for me, perhaps, but in my opinion still bad policy for the country. (My point not being that I want to debate that point, but that location does not have to dictate opinion.)

Sorry, wasn't meant personally - but you get the point. Q; How many states DON'T have a Nasa facility?

After 50+ years of pork barrel? I would bet on "none".
