$0.5B for pure science needs 4 months of debate (OK, we know Repugs and "Christians" hate real science), but $1,500B for US Empire EVERY YEAR is approved automatically.
At least there's some hope here......lets hope they manage to not muck this one up too.

The House and Senate on Nov. 17 passed legislation that lays out fiscal year 2012 funding for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), including the full $529.6 million requested to ensure a 2018 launch of the James Webb Space Telescope. The announcement comes at the end of a heated public debate that lasted nearly four months.
The funding keeps the Webb, unofficially dubbed Hubble 2.0, safe for now, but is by no means a long-term guarantee. (The bill must also still be signed into law by President Obama.)
