<p>NOTHING FOR TITLE XI
The entire MARAD budget request for 2011 is only $352 million, almost all of which is either for the operation of King's Point or for subsidies to employers of King's Point graduates. Nothing for Title XI, which actually creates jobs in the U.S. Why don't we just close MARAD down? February 3, 2010.</p>

<p>Oliver:</p>

<pre><code>Do you feel that pointing out that the current MARAD budget doesn’t significantly fund Title XI is an attack on Kings Point? The point Colton makes can be construed several way, IMO. That said suggesting a government bureacracy be closed down just because current trend might not be adequetely funding it to do much else besides be a general industry advocate and policy shop is quite short sighted, IMO as well.

<p>Oliver feels Timmy is attacking KP needlessly, and wishes to point out that Timmy has had some pretty snarky remarks about KP in previous posts…</p>
