Imagine if Washington Just Closed for Business

Imagine for a brief moment that Washington just for a brief few moments closed its doors and went away, far away. What would happen. A thought experiment if you will, an out of body experience where we look at all the rest which comprises this great country except anything inside the 495 beltway just kind of disappears. What would really happen. Nothing personal, no politics intended, just one of those Einsteinan experiments.

Now the Hill recounts a news flash about the current President and the current House.

"If the president is presented with a bill that undermines critical priorities or national security through funding levels or restrictions, contains earmarks or curtails the drivers of long-term economic growth and job creation while continuing to burden future generations with deficits, the president will veto the bill," the statement said. 

How surprising! We have dramatically opposing views and then it continues:

The White House said the cuts in the GOP plan "will undermine our ability to out-educate, out-build, and out-innovate the rest of the world."

 Well frankly it is they collection of counter forces inside 495 that may most likely undermine all those good things. Entrepreneurs always find ways around, over, or through obstacles. I know, I have done it. In 20+ countries. And yes, oftentimes the US was the most difficult. The Czech Republic was great, Greece was impossible, Russia actually works if you know how, and the tales go on. But all too often we have this view based on some reality devoid of any true facts and experience. Than God they moved the capitol from New York to that swamp on the Potomac.
