Treasury Secretary Geithner is pushing to regulate all venture capital firms as registered investment advisors with the SEC. For all intents and purposes, the government is lumping VC firms with those financial organizations responsible for destabilizing the financial system. The problem is that VCs had nothing to do with the economic meltdown. They don’t use [...]

The Obama Administration unveiled some convoluted plan to help small business today, which we have not had time to fully digest, but may provide a glimmer of hope that someone inside his circle of Communist advisers actually gets it- small business and entrepreneurs are the engine that drives America, not governmental bureaucracy.
