"But Bret, we also have legitimate and expensive security concerns that need substantial funding."

True! Another great reason to do less War in Iran.

Also, neat fact, some of our legitimate security concerns relate to Space Stuff.

Not doing War in Iran sounds like a good way to conserve very expensive missiles for security concerns rather than blowing up sand and schoolchildren in order to make the American geopolitical position substantially weaker.

Especially when the Space Race was heavily about beating THE DAMN COMMIES to the Moon! Kill two birds with one moonshot! :P

The nice thing about not doing War in Iran is it leaves so much room in the budget for so many activities! A couple days for Artemis, a couple more for global health funding, maybe throw in some healthcare at home…

Yes, though you wouldn't get very far with domestic healthcare costs. Medicare alone costs something like $3bn per day and medicaid something like $2.5bn.
