State run SBA *is* too small. I am proposing a temporary federal version of

Have you seen what the federal gov't did with the program it initiated
to help victims rebuild their homes in NO? Yikes. Bureaucrats are
good at layering bullshit between good intentions and execution.


The mistake made there was depending on a bureaucratic government to execute the details of
the program. The government is good at approving and allocating money, that's all.
Make the funding available to hands-on people that know how to get things done.

Normally, I wouldn't even propose federal funding for new company start-ups (or even SBA loans) because I think learning how to self-fund a company is as important as the product or service you provide. However, given the crisis that currently exists and the increase in un-employment, a temporary avenue for start-up funding using federal money (now being completely wasted on bailouts and so called "stimulus" packages) would be money much better spent in the long run with benefits to the economy and country that are more concrete and long lasting.

Just an idea.

Reduce government regulation at the local, state and federal levels and cut long term capital gains to 5%. Let businesses be businesses and not bureaucracies. Get the current capital in the market working again.

We've had eight years of little or no regulation...no thanks. We're supposed to trust business to do the right thing, when its motivation seems to be greed and short-term profit? The behavior of business gives me no warm and fuzzy feelings we should return to the 19th century.

    ... Forget about big business bailouts and stimulus checks/tax relief programs ... bailouts to provide start-up funding or growth funding for small businesses ... Obviously not all new businesses will make it, but those that do will hire ... The problem with state run SBA programs are that they are more geared towards existing small businesses in need of expansion funding. ...
