I would think that private space exploration frees up all sorts of NASA funding which can be spent on your social improvements of choice, no? Hard for me to see the either-or you're positing. We can have both.
I share your unhappiness with the grifts, including SpaceX's. Then I think of the thousands of lesser, more damaging-in-aggregate ones that I likely have no view into, and it bums me out.
So yeah, what I have left is my child-like "heck yeah rockets!" :) And this one was great.
