One of the bloggers I spent some time with at the Kauffman bloggers forum was Sramana Mitra, who writes for Forbes.
She adds her voice to the growing chorus of those who have concerns with the Obama administration's agenda for the economy. She is worried that advice they are getting about entrepreneurship is too narrow, relying only on a handful of venture capitalists:
A growing concern is the current lack of policy to support entrepreneurship from this administration, especially bootstrapped entrepreneurship. As the government tries to assess what might stimulate entrepreneurship, I don't see many "practitioners" of true entrepreneurship represented on President Obama's advisory council. Who represents the voice of the bootstrapped entrepreneur in the government? Who understands the extreme cash-strapped conditions under which entrepreneurs operate? Without understanding, how can they design an effective system?
