There he goes again, using other people’s money.

Considering that it will probably take 3 billion
OUT of the rural communities to give 2 billion
back, it doesn’t seem like such a hot deal.
Just more of Obama trying to buy votes.
We aren’t buying it.

It's always the same thing; no ideas so throw money at the problem, somebody else’s money.

1. The question needs to be answered....Where is the money coming from.
2. Take money from the Feds and you are obligated to do things the way they want. No getting around it.

Exactly! I believe that they want even more control over farmers and those who just don’t want to live in the cities. We out here in flyover country just want to be left alone to live our lives in peace.
Those who were born here and felt that it wasn’t for them have left and many of them have returned a bit wiser in the ways of the world. Then there are those like me who come here because our hearts said that this was the home we wanted.

Nothing to see here. It’s part of the Obamunist Rural Pacification plan.

The overall aim, as part of Agenda 21, is to turn rural America into parklands and preserves for the privileged elites. Such agriculture as takes place will be under the control of government collectives and worked by slave labor.
We who live here in rural America are to be eliminated.

Apparently all tax monies are his toy to play with. Guess the Senate or House has no control over this dictator. Wow, we are finished and by the time this ass is kicked out of the WH he will have rung up at least 6 or 7 trillion and every penny went down the drain. Just a payday for his friends.

I think RURALITES will see THROUGH this blatant bribe attempt...

Fine, we'll show you the way. Keep the money, restore our freedoms, quit worrying about light bulbs so I don't have to stockpile them, phosphates so I don't have to add TSP to my detergent, ethanol so my small engines don't get trashed, and quit making frogs and bugs more important than people.
Stop telling me how I can (and can't) use my land, and making energy so expensive that all I can afford is fire wood. Liberate the free market and if I have a good idea I'll make a ton of money, if I come up with crap I'll go broke on my own power. No government required.
If you want something to do, shoot our enemies and secure our borders. If you do well at that, we'll see if we can find something else for you to do. WE are the geniuses. YOU are nameless, faceless drones clutching our ankles and jabbering about 'danger'.

This money does not go to the people or the small business without first being funneled through the SBA and the universities.
We get their mailings all the time. Tired, cliched seminars being offered and not for free. Consultations that justify the existence of the university and the bureaucrats. Loans available that start at $500k. They will not even talk to you for less. Some money is funneled through incubators run on grants. Administrative grants and building grants in the millions are involved, featuring kitchens and freezers and all the trappings of a commercial food processor. Much PC-ness involved in these incubators. The big thing now seems to be artisan and specialty food related businesses. Grants run around $400k each. Most of us were able to prototype and produce and test market products on our own for well under $10k, because the money only went for essentials, not for the infrastructure of the middlemen.
I have seen the products go to market too quickly and then disappear. Not even available locally for more than a few months. _Maybe_ they get one or two orders or even contracts with a distributor who has shelf or freezer space to fill, but they seem to be short term.
And: these grants all compete with the individual entrepreneur, especially when factoring in marketing money. So, tax money goes to tax-supported infrastructure, draining the private sector even more.

I'm one of those, too. Started saving up at the age of 9 so that someday I could buy my own place in the country. Finally got one, too, now I just need to put a house on it :)
