This is not a political issue in so much as we have any effect on the outcome. The folks behind it are not of any particular party, simply a very effective lobby that has very effectively made their point to the policy makers. It is all about the dough, and there will be alot of dough involved. Would be nice to be able to vote on it but we will not be given that chance. It is not a party thing, doesn't matter who is in office or controlling the congress. This program has long been bought and paid for by the ones that will get the reward, and I am pretty certain that it does not include us.
