Funding for America COMPETES Act
From last night's State of the Union Address:
To keep America competitive into the future, we must trust in the skill of our scientists and engineers and empower them to pursue the breakthroughs of tomorrow. Last year Congress passed legislation supporting the American Competitiveness Initiative, but never followed through with the funding. This funding is essential to keeping our scientific edge. So I ask Congress to double federal support for critical basic research in the physical sciences and ensure America remains the most dynamic nation on earth.
Let's hope Congress and the President can work together this time to fund the bill -- and not get into an exercise of finger pointing. (See earlier posting on how things fell about last year).
