Interesting: Sequestration Shovels Money to the Russians
http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2013/02/27/sequestration-shovels-money-to-the-russians/A widespread opinion is that the sequestration—the blunt whack of $85 billion from the national government’s budget–was, as UPI puts it, “a dumb idea when it was created and it’s a dumb idea now.” But the sequestration may be far dumber than most realize. To save money, this budget bash is about to gush over three quarters of a billion dollars from America’s space budget directly into the coffers of the Russians. Penny wise and billion dollar foolish.
