Obama looks to throw a TARP over small biz

Whether or not it is wholly warranted as an economic decision, making small business eligible for Troubled Assets Relief Program assistance has to be seen as a political no brainer.

But, how do you target small businesses, who general have a higher failure rate, loan default rate, etc. than big companies, especially when the small businesses most in need of help fall most under those concerns?

In any case, on the political side, I’ll venture a guess that some sort of small-biz TARP gets rolled out before Michael Moore’s new movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” in October.
