Stakes High for ORNL with Funding Increase

My opinion: a stimulus cannot be simply 'putting money back in people's pockets'. It must seed the conditions for prosperity by getting people doing creative, useful, productive hard work who otherwise would be frozen out, discouraged or downgraded due to the sluggish market. Nothing accomplishes this better than good science.
