I know of a small business (I am guessing considered small, 30 odd employees) that was doing very well. When 2008 happened, even thought the owner was in a well insulated area that did not really experience the "crash" he was hammered at the federal level at every turn. He finally liquidated his business last year and his reason was (and I quote) "I am not subsidizing another 2008 bailout again".
Directive 10-286 is just around the corner and I am quite certain Project F is lurking in the darkness just behind it.
