The Abortion of a Generation of Entrepreneurs
Leibowitz's Canticle ^ | December 21, 2010 | Leibowitz

Posted on 01/01/2011 2:19:20 PM PST by Bob Leibowitz

From a comment at Transterrestrial Musings by Jody Green,

To the private sector a half a billion dollars is enough to start a whole new industry. To the federal government it is a rounding error. How many new industries will be lost due to a wasteful spending of a totally dysfunctional federal government?

Truer words were never spoke.

The Obama administration has sucked the market dry for startups. Investment capital has all but disappeared as angel investors have fled the market and VCs died by the hundreds, perhaps thousands.

A million companies have not been started, they died before their birth. A million more have sprung too weakly into life, suffering life-long defects caused by the business equivalent of oxygen starvation, a lack of sufficient capital.

Obama has presided over—nay, he has performed!—the abortion of an entire generation of entrepreneurs.

Just as in human death before life, we will never hear the screams of the victims, the unborn businesses and industries that might have been.

They are dead, there bodies sucked dry so that government may live more grandly.

R vs. W was 1973, 38 years ago.
So, it’s not just the 45-50 million aborted American babies, who would now be hard working citizens. It is the would-be off-spring of those aborted in the first 20 years. At least another 20 million lost children!

Ignore the selfish concerns of the eugenics and population control crowd, think about the positive impact those individuals could have had by now.

Obama is Kali - Destroyer of Worlds.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

LOL! He is a total goof. But yes, the causes of this depression do go way back, and most politicians in both parties are very responsible for it. Even business is rife with socialist ties to government and globalism.

It’s real simple. No one in their right mind will invest in economic growth in the U.S. as long as Marxists are in charge of the economy.
