I think the point being made is that NASA is wasteful because the people in charge (Congress) told them to be wasteful.



You are in charge. Congress is your employee.


Except I can't do anything about Senator John Jones from Arizona who wants to keep the couple thousand jobs he brought to his constituency. He won't budge on it because non-Arizonans didn't vote for him.


You’re probably thinking about the former senator of Alabama, Richard Shelby. There is no current or former senator by the name John Jones in Arizona. Additionally it is Alabama that benefits from the SLS program, not Arizona.


If that's true, then I'm officially notifying everyone in Congress and the Senate, they are terminated immediately and need to clear their offices by the end of the week. Let's see if it happens or not, and then we'll know whether you were correct or not.


Sure. It doesn't change anything, though.

NASA's doing what they're told, and Congress is doing what we asked them to.
