Sigh.
Even by government standards canceling the Webb Telescope would be brain dead dumb, if NASA needs to save money then kill the Idiotic Shit Station. When you think about it lately the surprising discoveries in fundamental physics have all come from astronomical instruments, Black Holes, Neutron Stars, Dark Mass, Dark Energy, Neutrino mass and oscillation; particle accelerators haven't discovered anything unexpected in 35 years. 

I wish they'd named it the Ronald Reagan Telescope, the Tea Party people wouldn't dare to even hint about killing it then.
