What changed is the Bush administration and republican henchmen thought

they could steal everyone's idea's and profit from them, using government

regulation as a mechanism to do so. People became afraid when their

ideas turned up in China and India, Innovation has become a private enterprise

with out Stock holders and Sec oversight.

Americans are tired of being ripped off, that is the clue that everyone ignored.

It's harder to raise funding.

Innovation requires time and energy and

trial and error and without funding it

takes years and years to get it working.
