30 Issues Discussion: Funding Startups to Jumpstart the Economy

As part of our 30 Issues in 30 Days coverage we look at startups. Small businesses are called the lifeblood of the economy, the engines of economic growth. How much should we invest in entrepreneurs and startups? Should we plow government money into business development? Or are we already spread too thin?
