The cost cutting begins !

Oh goodie !    those tax dollars are being reeled in by the second !

Space command being relocated to Alabama at high cost

Here's the CLiff Notes:

-Space Command is in Colorado Springs, Co - A Blue State.   Its already fully staffed and fully equipped and fully functional.

-Trump wants to have Space Command moved to Alabama - A Red State.  Not because there is any advantage, efficiency, or cost savings.   Its just Alabama was nice to him in the election and Colorado wasnt. 

-So now the taxpayers get to rebuild all of the billion dollar  infrastructure of Space Command and restaff it so Red States can be rewarded and Blue States can be punished.   

I'm so glad we have a business man in charge who knows how to cut through red tape and save us money .   And he's not even in office yet !

The area in question, Colorado Springs, is as ruby-red as Bucktooth County, Arkansas. The job losses would be huge and would dismay the MAGAs. 

There MIGHT be some mild practical benefit to having the facility near the other Huntsville space stuff, but the cost will dwarf that.

Trump is so fucking petty and vindictive. I fully expect him to deny disaster aid to the next blue state that needs it. I also wouldn't be surprised if he turned Yellowstone National Park into Elon's Spaceport, killing all the buffalo and diverting the geysers for thermal energy.
