Two good things just happened in Washington – these days that should be enough of a headline. First, someone ideal was just appointed to be Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense. Second, funding to teach our Hacking for Defense class across the country just was added to the National Defense Authorization Act. Interestingly enough, both events are about how the best and brightest can serve their country – and are testament to the work of two dedicated men.

Last Thursday, I helped lead a delegation of over one hundred CEOs to Washington DC - our most impressive turnout ever - to advocate for policies consistent with our values. There is a growing awareness in Washington on the importance of reducing regulatory burdens on business. In addition to my day job as an early-stage venture capitalist, I spend some time on civic activities - I think I must have gotten the social justice gene from my Dad.

We invested in them in 2007 when they were four people building on the incredible research and ideas of John Underkoffler. Today they are almost 100 people strong, have shipped an awesome set of products, and are on a path to fundamentally change the way we interact with computers.

@altgate Startups, Venture Capital & Everything In Between Skip to content Home Furqan Nazeeri (fn@altgate.com) ← A View On Investing How To Blog Like A Pro → Washington Out Of Control Posted on December 23, 2008 by fnazeeri I told myself I wasn’t going to post anymore on the financial crisis and then I saw this article in the FT about how on Friday (12/19) the Federal Reserve announced a new program of lending capital to any US company investing in securitized consumer loans. It’s a $200 billion program. This just burns me up. Translation: the US government just bailed out the hedge fund industry to the tune of $200 billion! Were there any strings attached to the money like reducing the 1-and-20 hedge fund GP compensation agreements? Nope! Any other concessions? Nope! So all these hedge funds are going to get bailed out right before year-end which will allow them to book profits (or less losses) and the managers get paid more. Thank you Uncle Sam! Makes that $15 billion auto bailout seem cheap (and with favorable concessions) in comparison. I think it’s time the government stopped picking winners and losers because it’s clear it’s being done based on lobbying dollars spent and not for any rational reasons. Either let companies fail or publish a set of rules for which companies get government support and why.

Well, Washington is at it again. Remember when the government pushed banks to lend to people who could not afford mortgages? That's right. We had the housing bubble that first over inflated our economy and then led to its collapse. We have all been suffering ever since. It seems that Fed Chief Bernanke is pushing banks to more lend to small businesses.

It is Washington. Never in my lifetime have I seen Americans as mad with the "system" as they are right now. And never have more Americans agreed on what that "system" is: 1. The "out to lunch and out of touch" tone and policy responses from both Democrats and so-called free market Republicans to the historical economic crisis facing American families and small businesses. It is Wall Street.

Instead, Washington DC has in many ways become the New, New York. As you would expect, the CEOs were keen to hobnob with the Washington elite and their peers. broadband, wireless), then what's going on in Washington DC matters to you. But for companies outside of NY, it is simply less relevant, whereas Washington has gone from being irrelevant, to suddenly centrally relevant. Personally, I don't believe this power shift to Washington DC is entirely a good thing.
