Patent reform 2011 over?

In an editorial titled Sticky fingers, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel nails the obvious: if Congress is willing to raid the patent office piggy bank in April 2011, then all the talk about ending fee diversion is empty chatter, signifying nothing. The problems will continue, especially with a hiring freeze and no overtime at the USPTO.
