Which really tells you more about the state of mind of people asking that question. What kind of person isn't curious about the puzzle of their own existence, or the nature of the physical reality they live in (and yes, by "being curious" I mean "being willing to put a tax dollar amount to them")?

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they thought it was a DEI thing.

The real "partisan" question is, "What can the GOP leadership and their owners loot without immediate negative consequences for themselves?"
