2009 Federal Budget: Lack of Ambitions

The 2009 Federal budget is a complete lack of vision and ambitions:

a) only $1 billion for "green" infrastructure, $1 billion for clean-energy research and a two-year, $1 billion Community Adjustment Fund to help single-industry communities adjust to economic hardship,

b) tax cuts to spending ratio ($22 billion to $25.5 billion) is dramatically different from Obama's proposals ($275 billion to $550 billion, respectively).

Thus, we will run into huge deficit even without an attempt to change something and create a competitive edge.
