I would argue that national parks and medical R&D are National issues and
as
such should be funded at the National level. An artifical rain forest in
Iowa is clearly not a National issue

Here is another national issue that needs some funding: Our sick dependance
on foreign oil that funds the very terrorists that seek to destroy us. And
I'm not talking about some wacky unworkable idea for hydrogen fuel in 20 or
30 years.

Where is the backbone of real leadership? No. Our so-called leaders wish to
spend us into oblivion instead.
