Obama to announce new measures to boost lending for struggling small business owners

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Amid misgivings over his spending blueprint, President Barack Obama has decided to provide billions of dollars in federal lending aid aimed at struggling small business owners.

Obama will try to get small business help him blow the credit bubble bigger.

There’s enough printed money for all of us. Grab yours while it’s hot off the press.

[freekitty]

Oh sure. Not in his plans

Oz-bama is always good for an unveiling, but once presented it is usually just another burden on the taxpayer shot from the posterior of Socialist redux.

This guy just does nor get it. So now he is going to give them loans. They don't need loans, they need customers to buy their goods and services. All getting loans will do is get them into debt. How about reducing the tax rates and freeing up cash flow? Of course that would require the government giving up control over us peasants.

"There’s enough printed money for all of us. Grab yours while it’s hot off the press."

Or you could borrow your own money to pay back with interest, AND be told by the government what to do with it.

Don't forget what Sen. John F'n Kerry said last month:

If you give the money directly to the people in the form of tax rebates or - even worse - tax cuts, they might not spend it correctly!

[Le Chien Rouge]

How about reducing the tax rates and freeing up cash flow?

Amen:
1) Cut payroll taxes
2) Cut capital gains taxs
3) Streamline filing taxes,
4) Enough of raising the minimum wage again nonsense
5) Eliminate some of the silly OSHA regs

This is just for starters.........

You're right. What we need are people creating new small businesses. That will lead to more jobs and new spending. Supply creates its own demand.

John Kerry: You Know What's the Problem With Stimulus Tax Cuts? All That Freedom.

I've supported many tax cuts over the years, and there are tax cuts in this proposal. But a tax cut is non-targeted.

If you put a tax cut into the hands of a business or family, there's no guarantee that they're going to invest that or invest it in America.

They're free to go invest anywhere that they want if they choose to invest.

Brilliant!

Loan them more money to help them pay their massive tax increases! ROFLMAO!

[autumnraine]

You know, I really would like to think this is a good thing. I really would. Unfortunately I need glasses and can’t see the fine print that I know will be included.

[Angry_White_Man_Syndrome]

I think it is even easier. Just abolish corporate taxes all together. The prices will drop and hiring will sky rocket. I work for a large manufacturer that has 95% of it's manufacturing in the USA. Currently we have cut back to 4 day production weeks and will soon have two 3 day production weeks. We are asking hourly employees to take voluntary time off without pay. All company picnics and lunches have been canceled. Capital has been slashed 60% from last years budget. Thankfully we have a policy of never laying off.

Small businesses need TAX and REGULATORY relief. The Reagan Redux. Their customers need tax relief. Really quite simple...but too obtuse for an Ivy League graduate.

1. Kill the private banking industry.

2. The few banks that are left, give govt. loans (with strings attached) so that they cannot give any loans but those the government approves of.

3. Substitute government loans for private banks.

4. Hey look! Government control of small business by proxy!

Mr. Ayers or a think-tank at the Kremlin must've come up with this one.

My new mantra: “It’s the tax increases, stupid!”

[NewHampshireDuo]

As a teenie-weenie business owner myself, I’d stay far away from this. Bad enough taxes, energy costs, etc. will be going up.

[reformedliberal]

We teeny-weenie business owners need not apply, especially if you have a creative, entrepreneurial idea and plan on building your business as you grow. The SBA is hidebound and won't consider anything below $500k in loans for *proven* business plans.

Besides the debt yoke, this is aimed at buttressing the SBA.
