White House considering emergency economic stimuli

Politico ^

"Domestic programs", my ass. My wife and I can't even get an SBA loan to resurrect our (once very successful) small business, so that we can provide jobs to others, while delivering services that American taxpayers need and want. Billions upon billions of dollars to giant corporate pirates and corrupt unions has done nothing to stimulate our economy. Little guys like me who are the backbone of this economy are taxed and regulated to death, then told to suck it, when we need a hand from our government.

Your just not the right animal on the farm.

Betcha I am. It makes no difference. Uncle Sam isn't going to give me a helping hand to put my business back on the map.

Yes, I keep hearing that he is going to force banks to loan money to small business....

great, I own a small business, and I can tell you, that borrowing money is not on my priority list. Period. Why? Too much uncertainty. I wont’ take a loan if I can’t predict what the positives on my books will look like, and right now, I can’t predict what affects the health care law, the requirements of the workers comp act, the impact of wall street regulation and a myriad of other things will have on my business. This is not to mention cap and trade, and every other proposed tax on environmental issues.

Also, how am I going to compete with every lame brained “green” company that is getting money thrown at it. Already I am seeing some of this effect in my sector, with start up companies competing against me, in my realm, who have more capital to toss around than the folks who have played by the rules for years.

The regulatory future is what keeps me from expanding, not forcing banks to loan me money.

Also, isn’t this what got us into this mess in the first place? And when it all crumbles again, the dems will be screaming about ‘predatory lending’.

This joker and his team don’t have a clue.

Baraq, it’s a bit late to influence the econ stats.

Going on tv and resigning might work better........

Not good enough...

[P.O.E.]

Never before in our history has such an overwhelming number of (expletives) been in charge of our country and leading it.

Never before have the voters been so gullible in such overwhelming numbers.
