You raise a good point about planning. As you're fully aware--we've heard from the government in its budget--next year they're going to slash and cut many departmental budgets. They're going to continue to limit the federal's capacity and continue to make significant cuts.
Don't you think it's not realistic, if you didn't receive anything this year, during a stimulus year...? What's the likelihood of additional funding on a going forward basis when there's going to be significant cuts?
It's very difficult to plan when you have no upfront money. Then the likelihood of future funding is very clearly going to be minimal, if next to nothing, because of the fact the government's going to actually cut money.
How does that play out for you? How does that help you in terms of your planning projections?
