A Man with a Plan
I just ran across Change.gov from the Office of the President-Elect. Among other information, the Obama/Biden team lay out their ambitious agenda for the next four years (jebus, we have that much shit to fix from the start? thanks, dubya!). I’m a bit saddened to see Science and Arts relegated to the Other Issues section as I believe these things are core for a productive, content society, but I understand that these are also long-term things and there are many “quicker-to-fix” problems that need immediate attention. They also have provided ample opportunities for anyone to give feedback and suggestions. I wonder who will see this feedback and how much weight it will hold in policy creation.
The cynic in me is still wondering how many promises will be broken and how many voices will be swept under the rug, but the dreamer in me is shouting “wow, wouldn’t this be great..!” Only time will tell.
[update] Hmm. Seems they’ve removed all the content from the Agenda section. Not sure what this means…
