In fact, he sounded so fiscally conservative that the Republican address, which followed his speech, looked like an amateur imitation -- without any of the charisma. On the subject of taxes, the pres- ident stressed his tax cuts, which are really credits for lower-income earners, and he bragged that he hadn't raised income taxes a sin- gle dime. President Obama deliv- ers his first State of the Union Address on Capi- tol Hill in Washington on Wednesday night. He acknowledged that "the true engine of job creation is Amer- ican business." He acknowledged that "the true engine of job creation is American business," saying that "govern- ment's role is to create the condi- tions for job expansion by small business." There was a wide and appealing populist streak in the president's comments. He refrained from attacking the banks but acknowl- edged that "we all hated the bank bailout." It was hard to disagree when he defended his proposal to put new fees or taxes on the large banks, saying, "They can afford it, if they can afford to pay huge bonuses." Even redistribution seemed appealing when Obama promised to use some of that repaid bailout money to give to community banks, who would presumably be more willing to make loans. He promised small business tax credits for hiring and the elimina- tion of capital gains on small business invest- ment, while ending tax breaks for "companies that send jobs over- seas." E d u c a t i o n would receive more funding (even in the midst of a pro- posed budget freeze), and students would pay only 10 per- cent of their income to repay student loans. Those who enter public service would find their loans forgiven after 10 years. And government would no longer pay banks subsidies to under- write student loans. In place of that program would be a tax credit for college. Health care reform would pro- tect Americans from the insurance companies, as well as save money for the government. Military fami- lies would receive more support. Only homeowners seemed to be forgotten, with vague promises to make refinancing easier. The president promised some- thing to everyone. But he got his only real laugh (well, more like a snicker) when he explained that his spending freeze would take effect only in 2011, "when the economy is stronger." Any consumer trying to budget in this weak economy knows that you can't wait to cut your spending till better days come along. Senate Democrats have called for a vote to raise the ceiling on the national debt to an astounding $14.3 tril- lion dollars. Contrast that with the president's strong promise: "I refuse to pass this (fiscal) problem to another generation of Americans." The numbers speak for themselves. And that's the Savage Truth.

Terry Savage The Savage Truth on Money Police reports The Gateway Science Museum at California State Uni- versity, Chico, dedicated to the exploration, discovery and celebration of Northern California, announced its grand opening will be Saturday, Feb. 27. The public ceremony will begin at 10 a.m., followed by the opening of the museum at 10:30 a.m. The museum, at 625 Esplanade at the east end of the campus, will provide exhibits, community volunteer opportunities, field trips, educational programs and fun for all age groups. Museum hours will be noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. "This grand opening is more than a date to mark on your calendar," said CSU, Chico President Paul Zingg. "It is an historic opportunity to participate in our children's future and the future of Northern California. The Gateway Science Museum will provide opportunities to have a pos- itive impact on our environment, strengthen connections among the community, university and Northern California region, and invite visitors to explore and enjoy the won- ders of science and our natural world." Throughout the spring, the museum will host "Back- yard Monsters: The World of Insects," an interactive adventure in which visitors of all ages can learn about insects and their role in the environment, and see collec- tions of beetles, butterflies and other creatures. The exhib- it includes 6-foot-tall animatronic insects. Grand opening day activities include an opening cere- mony, live animal demonstrations, science activities in the Discovery Room and Education Station and an opportuni- ty to interact with scientists in the Demonstration Lab. The Gateway Science Museum, formerly known as the Northern California Natural History Museum, is next to the Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park in Chico.
