Getting into speculation now, I'm just curious to get your insight, given your background and your location. Where do you see this debate going in terms of spending in these areas? With the President's term coming to an end in two years, and with the Republicans now controlling Congress, do you expect it's going to be steady as she goes, maybe modest increases, or do you think an emphasis is going to be put on deficit reduction and obviously a spending reduction?
