As I pointed out earlier, if you want to talk about the merits and faults of space exploration policy, go ahead and create a new thread, but please cut out this melodramatic alarmism.

Barney wants to cut those hundreds of billions for his health care plan. Now, what was my title again? Oh yes, it's "Barney Frank wants to gut NASA for government-run health care". NASA is going to lose a sizable percentage of its budget and have it redirected towards the train wreck that is nationalized health care. Looks pretty damn accurate to me.

And it looks horribly misleading, if not outright dishonest, to me. Frank's point was that the U.S. shouldn't spend hundreds of billions of dollars in space exploration, and that this money would be better spent on healthcare. Look, I'm not here to debate with you on this particular topic. If you want to continue it, then do so in a new thread.
