I repectfully beg to differ with you on your statement that "the parties are all an act". There are major differences and deep philosophical divergences in the parties' platforms, approaches to government, and policy positions. These range from which legislation gets passed, how budget dollars are spent, and, yes, even which public transit projects are (or aren't) funded to completion. The two major parties certainly do make a real and lasting difference in American life. That's why I'm a very active Democrat. The GOP does not share my political views, and has little or no interest in my needs or rights as a gay human being, to cite just one example.As for the question of ESA vs. SAS being cut as part of a default budget, it's really apples and oranges, as ESA is much, much closer to completion than SAS is. However, if the two projects were at equal stages of development, I would agree that SAS would be cut first. |
