First read this snippet from the link in the original post;


That budget request, according to government and industry sources, will not include any money for Hubble servicing but will include some money for a mission to attach a propulsion module to Hubble needed to safely de-orbit the spacecraft with a controlled re-entry into the Pacific Ocean. NASA would not need to launch such a mission before the end of the decade to guide the massive telescope safely into the ocean.

Now think about this we don't have the money to give Hubble a boost to a stable orbit, and it's too dangerous to do this with a shuttle mission, but we can go attach a rocket to Hubble to bring it down? I admit you may need a bigger rocket to boost it to stable orbit, but isn't most of the cost just getting TO Hubble?

It's not like these morons don't want to spend the money they just don't' want to waste in on advancing human knowledge.
