I meant mentioning it here.

I don't care about what sides did what when.

I care that this program that was successfully lending money out has been allowed to dry up and is being used as leverage.

Up the fund once more because it's being distributed too well, then start working on any restrictions you'll need on the future funding.



"I don't care about what sides did what when." This is the opposite of accountability. And when politicians know that you won't keep them accountable and that they can keep doing whatever shit they want because "you don't care about which side does what", well, don't be surprised if things don't end up the way you want them to be.


Who cares what the Republicans did a week ago, who cares what the Dems did a week ago.

I care the Dems are blocking the funds to a program that was helping small businesses.

I'm holding them accountable right now. Do you agree with their stance?


> I'm holding them accountable right now.

Why should they care? They just have to wait a week.


A week is a lifetime for some businesses.


The entire point is that we have no evidence that this program is "successfully lending money out". It's lending money out, yes, but with paltry oversight and no ability for the taxpaying public to verify that it's achieving its intended aims.
