So now the liberal groups, the self-serving special interests, the holier-than-thou-you-are-too-stupid-to-do-it-without-us jerkweeds are trying to inflate the business loan bubble, just like they did the mortgage bubble.

I like that guy, who is director of the "minority-owned" business association, who states the organization is made up of "all black, hispanic, Asian, and women owned businesses" a true minority... Really? All those demographic groups added together is a minority? Women represent 51% of the population. Throw in males from the other racial groups and the total approaches 70%. So...if your association represents 70% of the population, it's a minority. Interesting.

And, like we heard about home loans, this evil country is not loaning enough money to "minority" owned businesses. Where's Maxine Waters, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd et al.....convene a hearing, force banks to lower standards so ANYONE can get a business loan! Wreck that sector like you wrecked the housing industry!

All that said, I do support the role of the SBA and hope that banks will loosen up a little in making business loans. But not at the expense of sensible standards. And how about this...each bank is required to review ALL business loans applications without knowing the race or sex of the applicant. Have a board that sees only pertinent information, no information that would reveal the demographics of the applicant. Each application would have to stand on merit alone.
