US 'Economic Stimulus' Budget Review

[HoreTore]

I'm also of the opinion that many of us just plain don't want loans. We're being told the economy is in a tailspin- why would anyone in their right mind be expanding their business, buying a house or doing anything that would put them in more debt? Most of us are trying to hold onto what we have and preparing for the worst.

Uhm.... Most businesses operate on loans. Without being able to get new loans(to keep the old ones in check), they're suddenly unable to pay wages, order new materials, etc etc. In order words, they would face a full stop.
