Obama and the Democrats say they want to return science to government. As usual, this is call is misdirection. They actually want to politicize science. They like to use computer models, which they incorrectly call science, to predict that the earth is warming due to man's activities, and thus to take control of energy policy and thereby industrial policy for the entire nation. They also want to take control of the census, and to use computer models to find people who do not exist for political purposes. Here is a WSJ article on this initiative.
