Hilarious shoe-horning in of your personal gripe. When was the vote to decide between computing funding and religious stuff?

[ssijak]

Well, you also have Kathleen Hartnett White as the new head of the White House’s Council on Environmental Quality who majored in religion and is global warming denier.

And many other.

I fail to see what that has to do with supercomputing funding/underfunding due to religious stuff (which I'm guessing is tax breaks).

[wellboy]

If the $70B werent used for the church it would be used for other things, including supercomputing. His statement has some weight.

> including supercomputing

No, not true at all.

> His statement has some weight.

Only in so far as you could make the argument about any of the other spendings of the US government and shoe-horn it in.
