They are proposing using TARP money to help small business. I know almost all on the Forum have been oppossed to TARP. I am wondering if you support the use of the funds to assist small business or should the money be used to pay down the debt which is is obscene?

o-BAMA would restrict income on small business owners to about $50K. Pay down the debt and give tax credits to small businesses to buy capital goods and hire additional people. Give 'em tarp money and they'll hoard it, go bankrupt, and not pay it back--like GM plans to do.

Agree ... it is BS that the proposals will help small business. In fact could restrict job growth with more oversite, reporting and regulation.

What will help small business is get the government off their backs and pay down debt.

TARP was NEVER suppose to be a slush fund. It had a specific purpose to avoid an economic collapse with the intent that when it has done its job the money is paid back with interest and the debt goes away.

This is just another way for the dems to waste tax payers money and create more long term debt for the country.

Let's see, do I favor taking billions from small businesses, wasting $2 of every $3, then selectively returning that $1 to small businesses that some government worker determines is worthy of the buck? Hey GF, how about this novel idea......keep your grubby hands off my $3 and let me decide what to do with it? I can create a new job with $25K, it costs the government 5 to 10 times that amount for each new job....

Stupid is as stupid does......to quote a fictional small businessman.....

What check book is it in?? Unless I fail to understand how it works, the federal government currently has zero dollars of TARP money and we are facing a 12 trillion national debt. But not to worry, because we still have a check book, line of credit, and can print all the money we want. Ergo, Washington can obligate billions of dollars we don't have, assuming China will loan it to us, plus interest?? Have any of you guys listened to Dave Ramsey??
