"I'm no economist, but..."

I feel like I say this every time I start a blog post that links to the economy. But rather than ignorance, however, I'd hope that this is prudence.

Unless there is some recent agreement amongst, oh, the kajillion expert opinions about our current fiasco that I've missed--it seems to me that no one really knows what's going on. There are just indicators. (Lots of 'em).

Back to my point, though: this seems smart! Three simple ideas:

1. Encourage small business with loans.
2. Welcome foreign innovators. (Honestly, what's dumber than paranoid xenophobia?)
   
3. Match funds for venture capital and angel investments.

Neat!
