McCain Changes Stance on NASA Funding
Remarks by John McCain in Miami, FL (29 Oct 2008)
“I will freeze government spending on all but the most important programs like defense, veterans care, NASA, Social Security and health care until we scrub every single government program and get rid of the ones that aren’t working for the American people. And I will veto every single pork barrel bill Congresses passes.”
He Did It Again: In Ormond Beach, McCain Pledges Spending Freeze with No Exception for NASA
“Days after attempting to clarify his ever-changing position on space funding, John McCain returned to the region this morning and reinstituted his call for a spending freeze – without an exception for NASA. Speaking in Ormond Beach, McCain promised to freeze spending on “all but the most important programs like defense, veterans care, social security and health care,” pledging to “veto every single pork barrel earmark.” Notably absent was any exception for space funding, muddying a position McCain tried to clear up last week.”
