FYI.....Plaxico Burress The NFL Footbal Player Begins Prison Sentence Today!
Not that I have anything against the guy but finally these athletes might start to get it....You CAN'T just do anything you want and get away with it. If I get caught with a gun, I would have to do time too.
Just my 2 cents.....

Startup Risk
We need both public and private capital to chase more risk with startups. Even what appear to be not so good business ideas deserve funding in this environment, because that will funnel money into human capital.
With all the normal due diligence that startup investors have in place, a majority of startups will still fail. We should recognize that we do not know which businesses will fail or succeed. Some that succeed can compensate for dozens that do not. This is essentially the venture capital market.
So YES, we should spend money on startups, the government should offer start capital, and support private investors to do the same. The incubating period for many of these businesses will time well with the economy emerging back into growth in 1-2 years.

This TAX & SPEND PLAN
Ignores Stimulus and is all about money in the pockets of Dem supporters.
The last thing we need to do is throw money at anyone, let the bad fail and the good survive.

No problem here
There are hundreds of billions, perhaps trillions, of investor dollars sitting on the sidelines in money markets and treasuries---JUST LOOKING FOR THE VERY "START-UPS" BEING DESCRIBED ABOVE. There is no shortage of capital available for a GOOD business idea. There is actually a glut of capital and a shortage of GOOD startup ideas.
The last thing we need is for the government to throw money at them too.
