Banks have PLENTY of money to lend. There's no shortage. There's a shortage of companies who are expanding and WANTING to borrow money. Throwing more of our money at this problem is not the way to grow business. Getting more money into the hands of Main Street is the way to grow the economy.
You're exactly right. Banks have money to loan and many businesses have job openings, but both are afraid to pull the trigger since there is so much uncertainty with the Obama administration. Taxes are about to rise and health care expenses are about to sky rocket. No one knows the full impact of the healthcare reform package or the bank reform bill that was just passed.
This administration can't figure out why the economy has tanked further since he took office, yet many business leaders are saying that this is the most business unfriendly administration since Carter.
