Quote this: Calling a tax hike bill a tax cut bill didn't fool the republicans and it's not going to fool the voters.

Now if the ruling party were to put real small business tax break bill up for a vote i'd bet the gop would vote for it.

They GOP voted against Tax cuts for small biz plain and simple. Spin all you want but that was the major effect.

I'm not exactly sure how the government lending money it doesn't have (borrow money to lend it?) is fiscally responsible.

Tax cuts for business? A good idea.

Spending money out of pocket (via "community" banks (you know, the kind that are NOT "too big to fail")) is entirely different, particularly in the current climate.

Note that "community" gets used by the current admin in the US pretty much the same way that "people's" gets used in places like the PRC or the CCCP (when it existed). LOL.

Umm, no, that was just the effect that you're focused on. The only one engaged in spin here is you.
