Open for Questions: Innovation in the 2011 Budget
Federal CTO Aneesh Chopra, CIO Vivek Kundra, Diana Farrell of the National Economic Council, and Tom Kalil of OSTP take your questions about innovation in the Fiscal Year 2011 budget. February 3, 2010.
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’
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.
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.
I suggest you to take economy engineering courses!
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.
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!!!
@ memama2
Congratulations! You have just been nominated for the Annual EweTuber Wackoloon Award. You are among the few selected Psychopaths found on YouTube with entertainment potential to their SPAMMING activities. You will be competing with such personalities as: NookulerFreedom, SakyaNgor, ObamasTheBeast, and 2xtreem.
Good Luck!
Because they are half the electorate. If you don’t listen to the other side, you don’t get anything done. Simple as that.
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.
Please build a nationwide magnetic levitation high-speed rail system, analogous to the interstate system, which will connect every major American city.
. . . 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)
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 ~
@atomicfrog2000 You obviously have no idea how politics work. Please unsubscribe and go back to your life.
Have a nice day!
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!!!!
lol that guy @ 3:05 got my attention – didn’t expect THAT deep of an answer here. I like him!
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.
Obama is the New Jesus !
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.
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
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
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.
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
liberal fiscal innovation: 2 + 2 = 3
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. . .
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!
