Open for Questions: Innovation in the 2011 Budget

[ljp7c4]

Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in TARP money, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes? Yeah, me neither. Re-post from a friend. Pass it on if you're so inclined.

Where has socialism ever worked in world history?

And name 5 Areas where Goiv is more effecient than the private sector and free marketplace?

[beancube2010]

We honor innovations, not monopoly. Big corporations are stealing innovations from the population using monopoly. We all can print money and musics with modern creative technologies that are floating around us. Why should we need monopoly to print them for us? Religious? Court rituals? Law languages and psychology? They all are superstitious, like god namings, of the past; and they are not technology helping us understand and evolve humanity and civilization.

Cut spending NOW!!

[jhouse770]

And some advice for our 'CIO' Mr Kundra...try not to use the term 'game changing' more than once in a single speech...

From what I heard, you basically said- a) the currrent govt IT and services infrastructure is broken

(no kidding) b) no govt IT project seems to have succeeded or has been on budget c) we are spending $79 billion, plus interest, of your money to 'fix' it

d) it will be a 'game-changer'

[jhouse770]

And let me add one more point...it wasn't $100 billion from the Recovery Act....it was $100 billion PLUS INTEREST over x years, so they are misleading us from the outset of their speech. The U.S. govt borrowed EVERY CENT of that money they just blew on 'innovation'....from China, Japan, etc.

Our money. There will be payback, alright.

[jhouse770]

These are just political speeches. REAL innovation comes form the private sector...in the garages and workshops of private individuals and businesses. SHOW us exactly what 'innovation' we bought with $100 billion in 'stimulus' funds....like, a chart with the accouting and payback...not long-winded policy wonk speeches.

PS : i'd want to add Mrs. Michelle Obama, AND Her Husband, The President, DO are convinced with what they propose - here or somewherelse ; if you read their AUTHORIZED biography (s), you'll be able to see they try to settle all this A LOT before they are at The First Place of the Country.

Just read .. i don't pick up this through Blogs or ? - through THE public WORDS, of each of them.

[44truefalse]

How is this supposed to make me feel as though everything is transparent? All the these "Open for Questions", are one sided answers. Where are the other sides? Seems like propaganda under the cloak of tranparency. This is definitley not bipart'ite. Seems to me like everyone is trying to counter the real concerns being brought up by the Tea parties. Funny how everyone was calling the tea partiers Kooks just a little while ago, Now both sides are trying to sway them to their side. Really is sad!!!

[quizerry]

If you want innovation I suggest leaving it to the private sector. To give them incentive and money to advance technology. How about cutting taxes across the board and cutting corporate tax in half. Next cut spending, cut federal aid to states in half. Abolish inefficient and poorly run programs. Cut corporate welfare. Then we would have an innovation and economic boom.

[KlaraMargret]

I suggest you to take economy engineering courses!

Please build a nationwide magnetic levitation high-speed rail system, analogous to the interstate system, which will connect every major American city.

[memama2]

...these dolls eyed drones channel ~sheep demons~ and their dogma about "human con-science" ???....... is what Deepwrong Chopras kid has been trained to do! Watch YouTube video: Depak Chopra - A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing (and then YouTube video: The Gospel According To Oprahs Friends)

[groundhog2008]

Please, please, do NOT forget about Haiti. So many of us are former Haitians! Or, we have relatives living in Haiti. Please, we are obligated to rebuild Haiti, and take care of the sick and injured!! We should bring them to live while we rebuild their nation!!!! The should be given the option to come and have American citizenship if they wish. I would be happy to help pay extra taxes in order to take care of them!! Haitians are such sweet and humble people!!!!

[memama2]

hog = take all your worldly goods and all your liberal friends monies and all your savings and DUMP it into the cess pool of evil Grifters and corrupt Government Officials and WHAT WILL YOU GET? Same mess as always! Clinton dumped Millions and Millions and so has the Charitys involved. And Haiti has miss-used almost every dime. All going to fools with no one overseeing any of those funds! Only HONEST Christian Charities use their donations FOR ACTUAL HELP and Hospitals and Doctors. Sadly ~

[pinochet222]

lol that guy @ 3:05 got my attention - didn't expect THAT deep of an answer here. I like him!

[atomicfrog2000]

My question is why do you keep co-operating with the Republicans? If I wanted anything to do with them I wouldn't have voted for you.

[Apelof]

@atomicfrog2000 You obviously have no idea how politics work. Please unsubscribe and go back to your life.

Have a nice day!

[lucidcafe]

Because they are half the electorate. If you don't listen to the other side, you don't get anything done. Simple as that.

[716Sinister]

@atomicfrog2000 I think that although we have different parties to express different viewpoints, co-operation between the parties is essential if we want to get anything done. But that's just my two cents :)

[pgunn01]

The usual illiterate gibberish with random capitalisation. Gotta give it to memama2, he may not ever make sense, but you can count on him to give us page upon page of this stuff for every video.

[freeqwerqwer]

talking about tiresome speeches....here are more useless speeches . It's basically to allow these no named people to get some public profile ----at tax payers' expenses

[freeqwerqwer]

the white house has spent too much tax dollars money to put this video up on YoutTUbe. and the returns are ridiculously low----only 300 viewers. Waste of our tax money

[jnthnbush]

That girl was a bad choice as Deputy New Media Director, she says uhh and umm to much. bla bla bla...uhm, bla, bla bla, ummm bla bla uhmm

[GoMetricToday]

Why don't we finish our conversion to the metric system? We are one of 3 countries in the world that don't use it as a standard. We started and then stopped. Our economy would be boosted better with conversion of the road signs. Someone would have to make them. Which means they need workers. American products would be more desirable around the world if they metric only. WE NEED TO FINISH OUR METRIC CONVERSION ALREADY!

[voyeurdug]

Across Federal, state, regional & local governments' tax and treasury(ies) it is possible to build an integrated, streamlined and customer-oriented/collaborativ­e concept of operations to minimize taxes and to maximize bond and note sales to wage-earners and retirees. Currently, online resources reflect adversarial, counterintuitive and paper-based systems that serve neither government nor wage-earner/taxpayers well.

If you will build it, they will come... in droves. Please do this.

[Stillahills]

I agree, I think...

I think its fantastic that Obama is trying to modernize and streamline the bureaucracy, so far its has had a lot of success pointing to programs that are not working and or are unneeded. And the program is still in logistical development phase.

For example: The military ordered like 180 Boeing C-17 aircraft, although Boeing kept making the aircraft after the contract was filled, and the the government kept paying the bill for the extra ones.

[masswill]

Here is a recovery act, let the people recover thier right to grow and consume cannabis with out the Federal treasury Department's prohibition. If you beltway brats have not figured it out the people are speaking up state by state. We the people demand that we recover our rights to farm, medicate and recreate with a natural substance. In National Black History Month, do something that levels the playing field in America. African Americans have shouldered an undo burden in the war on drugs.

[robb1031]

If the WH really wanted to be fiscally responsible they would stop buying/using Apple Computers. They are over rated and over priced

[ronaldgibson]

I would go one step farther. A laptop with Ubuntu (or Fedora) Linux. It is based on open source software like the Mac. Dell offers them. There is plenty of software to install when you run the Add/Remove or Synaptic Package Manager. It downloads the application and installs it. I have taken old family video from my camera and posted them on YouTube using Linux.

[robb1031]

I agree, we have 4 puters in the house and 3 of them have Ubuntu as their OS. The 4th one has Windows XP only because of software I need for work demands it...

[Stillahills]

Aneesh Chopra is becoming a better speaker, he is ether more comfortable in front of the camera or he is talking some speaking classes.

Great work guys/gals. The progress of this show is getting better every week.

[MrTrueMedia]

finally some real talk, not the usual propaganda.

[benhershy]

stop saying "uuuuuh"
