I am a fiscal conservative. But of all the things the government spends money on, my personal safety is at the top of the list. North Korea is developing the technology to kill me and is just crazy enough to use it. I would like our government to focus resources on doing something about that problem. SDI probably isn't even one percent of the annual federal budget (that would be 20 billion dollars per year). I think funding should be increased.
