Bob Coleman brought this to our attention....
The Good News from the Spin is that according to the Treasury report issues a few weeks ago the SMALL BUSINESS LENDING FUND increased loans by more than 10 percent last quarter. An increase of $1.3 billion over the prior quarter and 84 percent of them increased their lending.
The Bad News is that Bloomberg reports that only $4 BILLION of $30 BILLION of the treasury's SMALL BUSINESS LENDING FUND was sent to 332 community banks.
ONLY $4 BILLION of the $30 BILLION???
These are really anemic results and obviously there needs to be awareness brought to the improvement of the facilitating of these loans instead of the PR Spin of these anemic results.
