Honestly, you should be going back to the lobbying drawing board. This is going to be enormously unpopular with the general public. VCs are already very rich, even if they take a haircut. They already have huge resources to be able to extend bridge loans to the companies they‘re partial owners in. What does the tax payer get out of absorbing the costs of this systemic risk taking? Are you going to give the public a stake in your companies, or do you want to just take our money and give nothing back?
