Washington's U.S. Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell held a news conference this morning at Wallingford's Tutta Bella pizzeria to talk up the small-business lending bill Democrats are trying to push through the Senate.
The Small Business Jobs Act would create a $30 billion fund for community banks to lend to small businesses. It would also increase limits on existing Small Business Administration (SBA) loans and give small businesses additional federal tax breaks.
Supporters say the proposal, which passed the House in June, would free up credit frozen for many worthy small businesses.
But it has been blocked by a Senate Republican filibuster. Republicans have called the measure "TARP light" -- tapping public anger over earlier Wall Street bailouts.

Any small business owner who would borrow money in such a massively uncertain environment is just CRAZY!
Say WA? Evergreen State ping If you want to help small businesses, cut their taxes.
I could be wrong...
Doing everything but reducing taxes and government spending.
Definition of insanity = DemoRats!
Don't blame Republicans, Republicans are liberals second best friends.
Blame conservatives that vote Republican just because the letter (R) is appealing.
Republican never has, doesn't, and never will equal conservative exclusively.
Place your vote wisely.
“As a transgendered, native American/black/hispanic lesbian,dwarf/midget, disabled person with a business catering to the politcally correct, I probably qualify for ALL the money!”
ya...rotten republicans...no more spending. what Republicans voted for todays binge spending?
When will these tools get it through their thick democrat skulls that business people don’t need to borrow money, they need to EARN the freaking money?
its not for small business...its a slush fund..bunch borrow..give kickback and file bankruptcy..we cant even find out where the money goes. they just say its earmarked so need more.
You just need to be a Lib & support their destructive agenda.
Which ones voted against it during the Bush years? Those can stay, the Rinos have to go.
Yeah...vote 3rd party....ensure a Democrat win
Obama is always ready to lend small business money.
We don’t need to borrow money we need to keep more of what we earn to reinvest or shore up our financial position to survive this tough period.
I had an Sba loan 13 years ago. The SBA just did a credit check on me even though I paid it off in one year 12 years ago.
A business takes government money and they will be forced to comply to their pending Socialist policies.
The left invented the word retroactive.
Sorry, you left out “atheist” or “anything-but-Christian”.
I’d guess that only black businesses qualify.
BTW, is the black farmer scam still taking applications? I have a black cat that farms mice.
Vote 2nd party and ensure a Republican win, what's your point?
Vote for those who look left in the chambers of Congress or vote for those who look right in the chambers of Congress.
The outcome is always the same....
It's a freeway to destruction, the fast lane to the left and the slow lane to the right.
Same direction regardless.
