And NONE of it has to come from the FED or taxpayers. Relief will come when the FED and the Statists get thier boots off the neck of the private sector. NONE of the private sector wants handouts from taxpayers that are worth thier salt.
VERY TRUE
I am a 30 year small business electrical contractor--AND TODAY--without taxpayer "perks" I can walk into my bank and get a loan if I want one. So can every other existing business that shows a profit in their business and pays their bills on time.
That's simply not true.
One of my businesses, profitable for 10 years and has never missed a single bill:
$8000 credit card is all they could do.
The problem there is the definition of "qualified."
New venture? Automatically "not qualified."
Before 2009 I've never had a problem using my past successes as a basis. Now? "We don't make these types of loans anymore."
My personal credit is sterling.
3. If you have no COLLATERAL--or no prior history of business experience--and want them to loan you money for a business--you're screwed.
Same song, different verse except now there are FDIC stress tests that make loans to new ventures a liability. I have paid every loan I have taken for a business venture. I've been self-employed for over 10 years. Before they used to say that "the Internet is new." Now they say "your loan doesn't conform with our stress tests."
So basically what this bill is doing is BRIBING BANKS to make BAD loans to small business. That is all it comes down too. And it won't work.
The ONLY thing that can stimulate this economy is the consumer. Or DEMAND for goods and services. The only way we see DEMAND increase is for the American public to have more expendable cash in their pockets to spread around the overall economy. Once demand increase's--existing businesse's will expand and create new hires. New business will find the collateral (using a home or other as collateral) to obtain a new business loan.
Oh that's bullshit.
Use a home? What homes are increasing in market value? My home has, because I put a shitload of money into it in actual real improvements. It's only worth more according to the tax assessors, not the appraisers.
