Sure.
But de funding NASA won't balance the budget. Using your example, that's more like a new oil filter then a hundred bucks, though.
And NASA is like a Duster. Not a Hemi Cuda.
I got news for ya, the budget will never be balanced , they cant even pay china the interest on it now .
Only way that it could be balanced , would be for the gov. itself to find a huge amount of gold on gov. land , big enough to wipe out the debt.
