Those bureaucrats have to put a happy face on this to keep their cushy, high-paid gigs, but this is ridiculous! Less than 1% of the so-called "stimulus" goes to small business (the backbone of our economy)?

Not only less than 1%, but less than 0.1% goes to small businesses... the heartbeat of the American economy.

You miss the point this is not about stimulus, but about growing government employment and ownership. He is a lying Kenyan Commie.

It is about theft.

“The Stimulus to Nowhere”

That’s not gonna fix very many bridges over very many creeks so folks can get out to the boonies to find one of them small businesses. Isn’t that one of the gems that Biden claimed when he was looking for the internet number?

His election is tanking our business.

Are we going to get reparations?

Bummer. I think helping Americans start their own business, or helping small business owners expand, would be the best possible thing to do in this economy.
With companies down-sizing and a "global" economy, the 21st century will look very different than the 20th (duh - kinda obvious, huh?).

More Americans running their own (small) businesses would really revolutionize the world economy. It would be back to the old mom-and-pop type stores.

And for anyone who hasn’t heard yet, these “huge tax cuts” the Democrats are saying is in the stimulus are actually not.

The bulk of the “tax cuts” are actually the effect of postponing the Alternative Minimum Tax hitting tax payers it was never intended to hit.

In other words, the Democrats are calling putting off the huge tax increase waiting in the wings in the form of the AMT, a tax cut.
