P*ss off! Most of us are simply upset to watch a great organization such as
NASA become a third-rate government department through no fault of the people
who are really trying to make the space program work. Maybe if enough people
start screaming they'll move some management into NASA that will allow the
administration to accomplish what it set out to do. 

As to why Canadians have a right to be upset over the decline of NASA. Who do
you think built the ARM for the Shuttle? Who do you think launched the 
first communication sat? (USSR - First Sat. , Canada - First Communication Sat.
USA - First Commercial Communication Sat.). Your taxation system has nothing
to do with the fact that the US Space program (and as a result the Canadian
Space Program) is quickly becoming an international joke.
