SDI is not about being obsessed with safety. Right now from a cost benefit analysis SDI if by far the best return I get for my tax dollars. I don't really get much return for my federal tax dollar. Almost none I can think of.
The nukes in North Korea and China poses an immediate threat to not only my family and me but to my property and pretty much my entire world.
The government spends about one percent of the budget or less on SDI. I spend a lot more on almost every other kind of insurance but these missiles would be much more devasting to me economically or physically than any other danger I can imagine. And it is a very real threat.
So as far as I compute the economics of it, the federal government should spend a great deal more on SDI before the costs would outweight the benefits. Even a small chance of working out is worth a lot of money to me, so from an Economic persective even if it never works, just the chance of it working is worth a lot more money than any other federal project to me.
