Hey I love astronomy, and if I wasn't such a practical bastard I've have gone into it, but if there is a finite amount of money I'd rather see a moon/mars mission. Maybe some of the european nations would want to foot the bill for the hubble (I know they use it, I don't know if they pay for it or not), or launch their own which would be just as good as the US doing it. I think there is a lot more to be gained on many levels from a mars mission than space telescopes right now.
Also congress loves to cut the NASA budget, as its the one thing they CAN cut without some group getting pissed off. You don't see people protesting, people saying 'think of the children', or people even voting based on the nasa budget. As such there is only so much you can do with it, and if its an either/or I pick Mars.
