I'd like to see some of the Money going into stimulating Basic Research in any number of fields.

The more I watch the more I become convinced that much of what we're seeing right now is a deliberate action on the part of the Corporate Right to discredit any sort of move toward a New New Deal championed by President Obama.

It's a colossal hissy-fit by the Corporatist after the ass kicking they were delivered by the American people in November...

Me? I'm not going to blame President Obama for any of this... There are many 'agendas' at play right now and of course the loudest one is being played by the Corporations which own, shockingly enough... The majority of the Corporate Media.

I came to my decision regarding President Obama over the last week or so, that I'm going to give him all the slack and free ride which was undeservedly given to Booosh over the preceding eight years. President Obama should receive no less of a benefit-of-a-doubt and unlike his predecessor, he is applying what I consider to be positive moves on many fronts. Yes, he's not perfect and is making some mistakes... But, he's signaled a willingness to do what's necessary to get back on track. Now my jaundiced eyes are on the Legislative Branch.
