This evening, someone pointed out Congressional testimony I gave over 6 years ago. This referenced similar testimony I gave in 2001, and I prepared it using notes from lectures I gave in the early-to-mid 1990s.

What is discouraging is that if I were asked to provide testimony next week, I would only need to change a few numbers in this document and it could be used exactly as is. The problems have not changed, the solutions have not been attempted, and if anything, the lack of leadership in government is worse.

Some of us have been saying the same things for decades. I’m approaching my 3rd decade of this, and I’m a young’un in this space.

If you are interested, read the testimony from 2009 and see what you think.
