Yeah, Q... We have banks advertising here to make loans, too, but I don't know of anyone gettin' loans... They talk real nice when ya' make the application but wbhen it comes down to loaning, they write checks like man with no arms... Several of my freinds who are solid small business men have had to shut down the businesses and lay off their employees... Layin' folks off is real hard... I've been in business for myself since 1982 and never had to lay off anyone... So this is a first for me and lotta other people I know...

And the Repubs say that if we don't extend Bush's tax cuts (to them( that it will hurt small business's... Geeze, the banks have allready done that... BTW most small businessmen don't make $250,000 a year..
