It's depressing that some of America's most important fiscal matters must now be negotiated at the point of a gun. The dearth of start ups focused on the public sector seems somewhat surprising to me. It seems that Silicon Valley should have a role to play in easing Washington's dysfunction that we are not playing.

- dave_sullivan 15y agoThat's fair, saying there's no money was an exaggeration. Maybe no new money for new companies would have been more accurate, not to mention the issues you mentioned (which were dead on).
