The economy is "naturally" making the transition to the creative based economy. There is nothing for the government to do but get out of the way.
In a perfect world, the government would be economically agnostic. It is unfortunate that our representatives feel the need to implement government programs to juice the economy. It is not needed, as long as taxes are low and regulations light.
It is not a coincidence that the United States is the country with the lowest taxes and the least regulations among developed nations, and that we also have the highest economic growth rate.
"There is nothing for the government to do but get out of the way."
That's right! The government should protect us and enforce contracts---and then essentially keep out of our business. It is oxymoronic to invite government officials to discussions pertaining to business creativity. This is analogous to asking the village drunk to plan a conference on the value of sobriety.
