Economic Crisis

  • Problem: What started as the Great Liquidity Crisis of 2008 has become the Great Economic Crisis of 2008. Now Act II of TARP in February 2009.
  • Goal: Generate new sources of public trust and confidence to unfreeze credit, stimulate collaborations, and encourage innovation.
  • Solution: Make transparency a part of every transaction using public money, not just the contracts, but the organizations and people involved in giving and getting the funds. Transparency is the key to trust and confidence, foundations of a healthy economy, and the greatest possible dividend from the use of public money.

“Trust, but verify” the “who” and “what” of resulting contracts

Transparency, “seeing is believing,” produces confidence over time

Confidence restores trust, the foundation of credit

More trust enables more credit that enables more healthy growth
