This is an earmark scam

Newt Gingrich: Beating China in Space Must Be Priority

They had a powerful Congressman in the 60s and ear marking went crazy:

Georgia’s strategic location in the Southeast’s space cluster makes it ideally situated for companies in the space industry. During the 1960's, Camden County Georgia was one of the finalists in NASA's search for a potential launch site. NASA later tested rockets there. Georgia went on to become a leading producer of satellite communications technologies and developer of space industry talent. Learn more about Georgia's space industry

The same scam the LBJ pulled for Texas and it continues today with the Texas Space cadets. My Antificant shock troops are on the case in attacking the boondogles.

Gingrich is your usual big government welfare bum Repub.

Here is another fool:

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said on Sunday that President Trump should sign the defense policy bill, which includes a provision to rename the military bases that are named after Confederate officers.
The Iowa Republican, who is running for reelection this year, told CNN’s “State of the Union” that she “would love” for Trump to sign the bill, but added more discussions on renaming the military bases would be needed.

She is not thinking. Not is the time to stall, make the defense department squirm.  Joni is better off finding the bonehead war eclaers in the senate and driving them out of office. Then we can look at the defense budget more clearly. The last thing we want ti to define a defense budget then let the Grahams go crazy with their list of war declarations.

Vote no on the defense budget.
