Also of interest in this post are the comments from small business owner Ron Sturgeon who has some things to say about the degree to which promised funding has helped small business thus far. Simply, it hasn't. It's hard to understand how, given the current economy, any loan terms dictated by government regulators would be helpful to most small businesses even if they got one or how banks can remain a viable part of the economy if they don't plan to loan money to the private sector.

Very good point Shawn. If the banks must start lending soon. Ron Sturgeon has valid points. The lending standards are to stringent and need to loosen up ASAP.
