Big Business gets the Engine, Small Business the Shaft

Here are the latest figures from the Congressional Budget Office:

$50B to General Motors

$185B to AIG

$XXXB to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae

$2.8T committed to the likes of AIG, BofA, CitiGroup

$3.6T committed to Money Market Funds and TARP

Small Business: $30B Total.  Do the Math.

The funding and finance window for gig business continues to be wide open, to the tune of over $10 TRILLION.   According to the SBA, the 27 million small businesses account for half of our GNP.  HALF.  That works out to roughly .06% of what big business is getting to support the backbone of the economy. 

It's time for voters to wake up and act.  Forget the sound bites, educate yourself  Voting is a right...don't waste it.  If the system continues to fail, it may be time for a major change.
