Because I'm still trying to answer why a 'space force' is better for me than:

- Health care
- Social Security
- Infrastructure upgrades
- Affordable college

Seriously, I'm just mystified about why this nation should need a space force, when Americans have these other needs.

In a country where the government is supposed to be of, by and for the people, how come my tax dollars can't be spent on services that actually make my life and the lives of my family better?

I'm going to lead with that question now every time I call my US Senators and Representative.
