		<description>Your article links to @fakesacca, which, in case you were wondering, is not the &quot;official&quot; account for Chris Sacca.  I believe that you were looking for @sacca, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twitter.com/sacca&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.twitter.com/sacca&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Maybe the media isn&#039;t making bad news worse, but getting the real news right would be a nice start.</description>

		<description>Oh, pleeese! Do not worry. They will speak to President and start making bales of money as a result of this conversation. For example, all FEMA workers will be mandated to tweet... and Google already got their man in White House as nation CIO, so expect GoogleDocts to become a federal standard in no time.</description>

		<description>1. Ask them for no capital gains tax/no dividend tax on startups, to counterbalance investor fear. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;2. Ask for government subsidies for entrepreneurial activity - legal services, networking events, incubation space, office computer equipment. (In the form of coupons for the self-employed). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;3. Ask for an income tax holiday on the newly self-employed for one year, that everyone can take advantage of once in their lifetime (put a $100k cap if you want). It will motivate everyone to consider taking responsibility for generating economic growth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Note: Encouraging any size company will stimulate the economy, but startups tend to grow the economy in unexplored directions (which are more likely to be non-competitive), and startup personnel tend to have higher morale (which means higher production).</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think a generic imperative to &quot;Stop the pork&quot; is very helpful, because that&#039;s something politicians hear and say all the time. Much more useful would be specifics about what we should cut, or how we can meaningfully distinguish between &quot;pork&quot; and &quot;projects that stimulate that economy.&quot; Y&#039;know, ideas that don&#039;t fit into a 140-character message.</description>

		<description>He probably wants you there to tell them how they can make Twitter secure enough to allow constant contact in the Administration. Tell him to get on TV and tell the people &quot;Yes! We Can!&quot; that he won&#039;t allow the banks to fail and that he&#039;s putting his healthcare/education/tax-hike on hold until the economy settles. It&#039;s hard for people to be productive and innovative when 1) they wonder if they will ever benefit from the fruits of their 18 hours/day labor or 2) they worry that whatever they have saved up so far is going to go down the drain.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Would you be able to soldier on unless you were pretty sure Twitter would really pay off in some manner--money, fame, fabulous job offer, etc.?</description>

		<description>This is a underhanded plan of their part to develop a way to get &quot;group&quot; conversation and ideas out abut their new socialist agenda. They aren&#039;t discussing the economic plan. They are discussing how to push people into believing that the economic plan is working!&lt;br&gt;Can you say BRAINWASHING! They have to be everywhere including twitter!</description>
