What the economy needs most now is jobs. Making loans available and easier to access by small businesses through credit unions and community banks will create more jobs more quickly - even faster than tax credits, which comes only at the backend. For example, in my own company here in Maryland, I am running only 2 out of 5 possible programs and I have 55 employees. If I had a loan facility to start up the remanining 3 programs, I could employee an addional 75 employees, that is a 150% possible staff increase. Now, imagine many, if not all, small businesses, doubling their staff strength! I strongly believe this may be the magic bullet this economy needs right now. It would create jobs faster than tax cuts or even revenue increase.
