[Hidden-tech] Business stimulus for HT members ?

[Rich]

This is part of the "big is easy" attitude - it's not 'worth' a bank's 
time to do a loan that small,
SBA charges more for loans under $7K (I think that's the number) because 
"they are riskier"

The interesting part is so called micro loans are far less risky, based 
on statistics collected world wide.

This is exactly the feed back we need to collect if we are going to be 
listened to,
all the stats say our sized businesses create more jobs -- yet I've seen 
no level of gov't
put their money (make that our money) where the real jobs are
