The democrats are trying to use the extra Tarp money to lend to small
businesses since the banks are not. But REPUBLICANS are BLOCKING it! Each
and every one of them! Not a single REPUBLICAN wants lend to small

even though they passed 565 billion for other budget busters!

desperation. desperation really feeds on deflation, although this solution
might engender some additional deflation. but overall wouldn't this be
better and very easy solution?
