Why is that logic so appealing? "You can spend zillions on xxx, when you could spend it on the poor."
Why not do both? The answer, of course, is rocket or no rocket, the poor get nothing.

A large part of the time is that people don't realise that the money spent on civil aerospace R&D is comparitively tiny to what most developed countries spend on welfare.
They hear "-illion" and think that it is being printed from an ATM, shoved under a fairing and fired into space.
