Well, going by your comment above, do you consider the small business Administration a slush fund beset by corruption? I await further details on this new initiative, but noticed they spoke of reducing red tape; it's not easy for a brand new business straight out of the gate to get SBA funding ('small' businesses can have up to several hundred employees in the US), so personally I like the idea of a 'micro business administration' that could offer bootstrapping assistance and possibly small amounts of seed capital to garage/loft sized outfits.

The SBA has a reasonable good reputation for both utility and probity, so why not use that as a comparison rather than some speculative stereotype of waste and corruption?
