...half-century later. Last year the agency spent nearly $5 billion sending highly trained astronauts to the ISS, largely to ferry supplies and fix the AC and other sputtering plumbing. The new generation of entrepreneurs is betting it can do what NASA does--only better and cheaper, with cushier seats and cool views for paying customers...
...lugging your bags through the airport to catch a flight on a commercial airline, this should warm your heart. Since 2001, Bush cabinet secretaries and top agency officials have flown on cushier and costlier private aircraft at least 125 times to over 300 locations.

And that's not just to do "jobs that Americans won't do," but the jobs that make the lives of average Americans easier and cushier. After months of discussing this issue, little has been said about the "domestic" consumption of illegal immigrant labor. You'd never guess that so many households rely on housekeepers, nannies and gardeners. When politicians and talk show hosts talk about getting tough with employers, the villain is usually some gigantic, faceless company...
