Thursday, March 4, 2010 — I am writing to relate an experience I had recently.
All of us have heard President Obama talk about making more funds available for small businesses.
As a small business owner, I was curious to see if I qualified for a loan or grant to upgrade and expand. I went to the official government Web site and scrolled down to “loans and grants.” Then I scrolled through the other people’s names who were searching also. That’s when I got a surprise.
There was an official government disclaimer stating that none of the loans or grants were available to “for profit” businesses.
If you want to start or upgrade a business to make money to support your family, the Obama administration will not help you.
So much for the “Little Guy.”
He is only interested in helping his buddies at ACORN and other “non-profits.”
