In an earlier posting I noted the need for the stimulus package to be transformative rather than simply boost consumption in an attempt to re-inflate the bubble.
Now, Jonathan Ortmans, President of The Public Forum Institute writing in at the Kaufman Foundation's blog on entrepreneurship makes the case that the package boost entrepreneurship:
The bill under discussion is relevant to entrepreneurship in so many ways from taxes to boosting science and technology, and education.
. . .
The proposed legislation also includes areas in which entrepreneurs can actually help more than we frequently realize. Entrepreneurs not only preserve and create jobs, but can also help America overcome its challenges through entrepreneurial innovation. We need to be smarter than ever to test the formula of the dog food before investing scarce dollars in it. Entrepreneurs understand this iterative process and know how to mitigate risk. They know how to create and innovate with little or no resources.
Sounds transformative to me.
