I'm not a very political person. I consider myself an independent. However, I remember back several months ago, I remember seeing Barack Obama talk briefly about how the government has to support the new changes in manufacturing, and he specifically mentioned 3d printer (see video below about about 0:40)



I just think that if the US wishes to continue being one of the world leaders they should really help fund 3D Printing, and also help in research to make it better.
