Yeah. Too bad our government cannot get its act together to do something useful for small businesses and those of us in the 99%. But that’s a dream, alas. Maybe next year. IF we manage to elect a president… and by preference reduce Mitch (the Hardback Turtle) McConnell to a status less than he now has.
A tall building designed with an exit door on a high floor, and no stairs attached to actually rescue trapped people? That perfectly describes the Trump Presidency.
It would have been great if that stimulus money hadn’t gone to the giant corporations. It could have done a lot for small businesses. But GOP serves the corporate masters.
Are tattoo parlors and piercing establishments such an important group of businesses that they are always mentioned? Can’t press-on temporary skin art be substituted, at least for a while? And Gorilla Glue used for skin jewelry? Tell me why I’m wrong (nicely).
You need to be a big business like the airlines to get the cash. We need billions more to support for profit companies! Why are we propping up commercial businesses? Is this socialist state? If you want to help the economy, get the money in the hands of the people. They will spend it.

I would rather have a purple government that worked WITH each other, FOR the American people instead of yet more obstruction/dysfunction.

For 40 years we’ve idolized the “rugged individualist”. Now, when we need to come together, we can’t!

Is this what Kudlow would draw if he was a cartoonist? Or, perhaps, Gohmert…

And what about all the relief money that went to big businesses instead of small business. A few gave it back. But how many?
