Yeppers, let's give a bunch of taxpayers dollars to the crooks on Wall Street, but fight aid to small business on main street. Way to go, GOP!!!

Senate Democrats’ Plan to Aid Small Businesses Hits G.O.P. Resistance

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/22/us...1&ref=politics

WASHINGTON — Perhaps the last best hope of Democrats to pass legislation aimed at creating jobs before the November elections seemed to be crumbling in the Senate on Wednesday as Republicans signaled that they would block a bill to expand government lending programs and grant an array of tax breaks to small businesses

Government should NOT be LOANING out money Now all of a sudden you support loans? Make up your mind.. will you? Government loans, good, or bad?

Lemme guess, this money was from "emergency" funds rather than money appropriated from the budget?

the real question that needs to be asked is;

what else was in the bill that would cause the republicans to block a supposed jobs creation bill?

its not just a 'small business' bill

its also the EMERGENCY (not paygo) ue EXTENSION bill

even the most leftist republican out there Snow is against this bill


from the op's link

The most prominent potential Republican supporter of the bill, Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine and the senior Republican on the small-business committee, said Wednesday that she firmly opposed the $30 billion program because it echoed the huge bailout of Wall Street, the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which has become a political liability for lawmakers who supported it even though many economists say it was a success.

you cant be that naive can you? what else was in the bill? what amendments were added to the bill? for the last 40 years there has not been a bill that went through congress that didnt have other legislation attached to it.
