New Mexico Seeks $200 Million from US to Waste on Spaceport
By
You’ve probably read about New Mexico’s planned $225 million “spaceport in the desert,” a “partnership” with British billionaire Richard Branson.
Press reports make it sound as if Branson is fronting the $225 mill for this boondoggle. But he isn’t. You are–if you are a U.S. taxpayer.
The problem is Branson isn’t an investor at all–even though the $225 mill is chump change for him. Nope. He gets to charge $200,000 per flight from this “spaceport” after the federal government gives him and New Mexico the money to build it.
Where’s the outrage on this fleecing of America by a British Billionaire and New Mexico’s liberal governor, Clintonista Bill Richardson? What’s next–U.S. taxpayers fronting cash for Donald Trump and his various “Apprentice” projects?
Remember this when border-delinquent, fake baseball-draftee Democrat Richardson runs for President as rumored, in 2008.

The insanity continues. I’m surprised U.S. Sen. Robert “KKK” Byrd (Dhimmicrat, West Virginia) isn’t in on this one somehow.
Also, let’s not forget Billie Richardson’s other outrages:
1. As Slick Willie’s Energy Secretary, Billie Richardson allowed lots of Communist Chinese spies access to TOP SECRET U.S. nuclear information at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
2. As Slick Willie’s United Nations ambassador, Billie Richardson offered Monica Lewinsky, on Slick Willie’s order, a do-nothing job at the U.N. in order to get rid of her in advance of the impending “Blue Dress” scandal.
Billie Richardson, as with ALL Clintoon appointees, are steeped in scandal and slime. He’s obviously using this spaceport stunt as another step in his long march towards a presidential campaign.
