I'm all for an organization that looks out for the interests of business and the taxpayers.
But not THIS business. And not with CASH handouts of taxpayer money!
If a business isn't able to borrow money on the very mature and established business credit market, it's probably because the people who lend money HAVE NO FAITH THAT THAT BUSINESS WILL EVER BE SUCCESSFULL!!
So we are giving tax money (and a lot of it) to the hippie radish and cucumber crowd...
A hundred thousand here, a hundred thousand there, and all of a sudden you've got a giant deficit and a control board.
Night Owl, you really have to learn how to say NO, no matter how warm and fuzzy you find the cause to be. We may really like our bong-smoking food co-op people with Berkenstock sandals and our librarians on every corner, but obviously there just ain't the money for such folly anymore.
At what point will we really understand that?
