Obama continues to break his own budget freeze

In this tripling of a discretionary fund:

"President Barack Obama, acting on a pledge to support nuclear power, will propose tripling loan guarantees for new reactors to more than $54 billion, two people familiar with the plan said.

The additional loan guarantees in Obama’s budget, which will be released Feb. 1, are part of an effort to bolster nuclear-power production after the president called for doing so in his State of the Union address Jan. 27. Today, the Energy Department plans to announce creation of a panel to find a solution to storing the waste generated by nuclear plants."


I am not sure this guy looks far enough to see his own contradictions. I am reminded of Carter, not Clinton (Bill).
