Not to be a wet blanket but what does this mean for natural resourse funding from DoD? I work at a military unstallation with rare/threatened/endangered species and honestly, I'm sort of worried about my job, the projects that I'm on and everyone else's jobs in my section.
Most of our funding comes from a big drop of $$$ that falls from the top of DoD. As that drop proceeds downward everyone above me grabs from it so it gets smaller and smaller, especially by the time it gets to our wildlife section. Obama will most definitely cut DoD funding which means the starting drop is now even smaller and those above me are still going to try and take the same amount they always have. In the end, I fear that everything I've worked for might just get washed away b/c of this funding issue. That being said, I voted for Obama. I'd vote for him again, 10 times out 10 and twice on Sunday. I just think that it's not all sunshine and rainbows b/c he's sympathetic to environmental concerns. I'd still like to hear more about what he's going to do for threaten and endangered species given Dubbya has done everything in his power to subvert and dismantle the Endangered Species Act as well as many other environmental policies.
