So I take it you are part of the 43 percent

That’s because at the time obama was in office Pennsylvania was hunting for that giant lump of coal to make a bust of himself

Trump just asked big pharma to develop the vaccines, gave them a lot of money and allowed the FDA to authorize the use of coronavirus vaccines, without years of studying long term side effects. It was the easiest decision ever.
Only a president RFK Jr wouldn't have made it.

It's the big pharma companies and the FDA who actually did the work.

Going to the moon did indeed advance some technology, but most of it is only useful for going to the moon. It's an incredibly inefficient way of investing money into technology. Directly investing in chip manufacturing or battery technology or energy storage technologies, is much more efficient method of spending money.

I have also told you that I want to spend money on things that add value.
If baggers are not worth a good wage, make people do jobs that do add value.
If burger-flippers don't add enough value, to be paid a good wage, then make your own burgers. Remember?
Sending some unmanned probes to Mars will advance science. It answers questions like; is/was there life on other planets. Going there in person is unnecessary and hundreds of times more expensive. It's useless.
(The Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission cost $1.08 billion.)

Going to Mars would cost between $100 billion to $500 billion per mission.
It would do nothing for the goal of making Mars our backup planet.
Going to Mars is only useful for showing that you can do it to the world.
And for Elon Musk, it's just a vanity project.

Your idea of advancing technology, is like organizing the Olympics in your country, for the goal of improving infrastructure.

It's much cheaper and produces much better jobs, to completely transfer to renewable energy. You would also be energy independent indefinitely and
cut pollution to almost zero.

You tell me that you don't have any money for education and healthcare,
but you do want to spend this money, which doesn't do anything to help you.
(or al least very very little)

Trump is literally telling you; let's cut every dollar that is important for
normal Americans and lets spend all that money on a billionaire's toys.
Elon Musk told Trump to cut childhood cancer research for that!
Even if you don't care about kids dying, that's still a "lucrative investment".

And the funny thing is that you always accuse Democrats of wasting money!
