Oh, George. Not everyone was born with a silver coke spoon in their nose. Or up their ass.

Congress wants to know where the money for Bush's vastly expanded space exploration proram is going to come from.

Money Row Here

"It's highly unlikely Congress is going to appropriate this kind of money, considering the budget situation today," said Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

DeWine and others said that with so much pressure on the federal budget, space exploration will have to take a back seat.

Military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the federal deficit, education and health care programs and other domestic priorities are competing for scarce dollars.

"This kind of money (for a lunar program) is not possible under the current budget constraints," DeWine said. "Maybe sometime in the future, but certainly not now."

Many lawmakers welcomed Bush's vision, but couldn't avoid returning to the money question.

Hey, pbs is a step ahead of the pack again.

You see, George. Not everyone was born into American aristocracy. Unlike you, your family, and your cronies, most Americans have to live by something called a "budget."
