Cisco Chairman and CEO John Chambers Statement on Senate Passage of Stimulus Package


“Passage of the stimulus package in the Senate sends a message to all Americans that we are investing in the future of our country. From broadband, healthcare information technology, Smart Grid and education, a foundation will be laid to help stabilize our economy and create growth that will benefit all Americans."

Amen.  We need to modernize our country from top to bottom and from top down and bottom up.

Finally…tech will push this nation out of the recession, let’s do some good for the country!

It is smart to invest now in technologies that will make us all more productive. It is not good enough to empower only those at the top, we need to empower everyone.

While definitely a positive step the key will be whether or not the funding actually makes it to the appropriate types of tech spending.  If the funds are simply exhausted on some pet project we’ll see little benefit.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Although the package was rushed a bit, I applaud the president for the passage of the stimulus. I am starting to get skeptical that President Obama will pass health care reform.
