The original program started with EB-1, EB-2, EB-3, EB-4. All of these are an individual investment in starting or growing a business. The EB-5 program was put in place some years after the first four categories. The EB-1 is an immigrant investing in starting his own business. Some tweaking o this program would do exactly what is being proposed as I read it. Mark,

There is already a program that would allow most of what this bill is trying to do. Let's not fix that one and instead create a whole new duplicative program. This does not mean I am against the idea. It means I am against creating a new government program (and bureaucracy) when it can be done by tweaking something that already exists. this is typical government run amok.

With those liabilities, it’s hard to take on the initial risk of starting up. Your risk vs. value proposition is probably different than it was 10 years ago. Imagine looking at your kids saying, “this college fund money I’m spending right now is going to come back big, trust me.”" Are you trying to make me feel bad? ;-) Nice post.
