Just garbage. I missed out on the $40,000 EIDL loan that i needed to relocate because I included unemployment in the numbers; so everything got screwed up bad including my credit (during pandemic). Also, since i didn't have the funds to completely finish moving everything and securing everything, I had $40,000 worth of shop equipment along with trailer get stolen while parked out by the new location. Now I can't find a SBA loan or any programs to help a 100% service connected disabled veteran get the money needed to finish the relocation and/or get the mess leftover after the pandemic cleaned up. But this administration can waste $143 billion on fraudulent claims, can send billions to Ukraine, can send multi millions to Africa in support of black women-owned businesses (in Africa), and now hundreds of millions to help illegals??? WTF is going on. How about helping America and American citizens first. Especially the variety that fought for and protected the countries interests. I'm gonna shut the doors on the business and take-up that old passion that my PTSD mixed so well with, Day-Drinking! I don't have any more energy or interest in struggling to find financing while watching my government piss away billions of dollars on b.s. It's disgusting and I'm over it. Day-drinking, that's the plan. I'm out!

You would think that I might be able to get some help from the state during the pandemic also. But this chart shows you where our worthless ex-military (officer), that got out right before his unit was to deploy and then came back in to finish retiring is at with funding. I'm so upset with my state and federal government right now, I could puke. Really, it feels like Bidens intentions all along have been to sink, weaken, and take out our military. First he leaves all the equipment in Afghanistan, then we start sending massive amounts of weapons and money to UKRAINE in order to COVER UP what looks to be like treason/espionage perpetrated by JOE (the big guy) and his COCAINE COWBOY SON, whom goes into international business; getting paid multi-millions of dollars to not provide and services or goods to CHINA, UKRAINE, AND RUSSIA; and then goes on to be the lawyer for a Chinese Spy. I wonder what they were doing with the top secret documents that were at Joe's home and think tank center. Selling classified information. I think Putin knows all about it, so Sippy Cup-Nap time Biden is doing everything he can to keep it from coming out, even at the risk of starting a Nuclear War. And ll i need is like $35-40k and I'd be golden. Apparently trying to do the right things and trying to maintain my military values throughout my life isn't gonna get me anywhere except closed doors on my business and hypertension from watching all the B.S. going on in the country/world! I feel like our military is so woke, they aren't going to catch the beginning of the war, which is gonna suck for all of us. In MN there is right around 2,000 less veteran-owned businesses than there are minority owned businesses, yet when the covid funds were coming to the state in a lottery type awarding system; their goal was to give a minimum of 250 veteran owned businesses part of that funding and a minimum of 1,000 minority owned businesses bail-outs, also 250 to women-owned businesses, and they gave out 1800 micro loans. I don't know about anyone else but the 250 to 1250 isn't something that makes me happy, especially when i get an award letter, then get bent over. I'm trying to to create a couple jobs for some other vets i know that could use the work to get them away from drinking so much, but i can't. I did bring a man dress and towel with me, when i came home from Iraq 18 years ago, maybe I'll buy a gas station or just start putting on my applications that i'm non-binary and prefer not to answer any of the other questions, who knows, maybe that'll get me the working capital/equipment loan i need to get back up and running. LET'S GO BRANDON AND LETS GO WALZ!!!

Lt Col Charlie Brown - WOW!!! This is way over my purview... but I would suggest that He contact his local DAV Chapter and work with them... Even if they can't help him directly, there may be connections with those who can help him...

SPC (Join to see) - Hang in there! It's terrible the local police won't help you with stolen items. Have you paid a friendly visit to the Sheriff or Chief?
As far as getting back on your feet, we all know here physical security needs to be in place. Any unsecure equipment/materials left on property will be gone in time. I found that out even in small things.
My own opinion about the pandemic lockdowns was that they were meant to put small businessmen out of business. Force business through all the big companies and it will be easier to see and control what our population is doing. MHO

Isn't that about the worst thing I've seen this year. All these IRS agents and Federal employees, and all the fraud that took billions from the covid relief fund. No wonder they wouldn't review or look at the mistakes on my application. They stole billions, all i needed was $50k, to get everything done and moved to the new location; i didn't even want it to be forgiven, just a longer repayment plan. Now after reading this article, I have zero faith in an already terrible administration that i didn't have any faith in already. I know it's not going to be the best if I end up setting at home with my thoughts and memories all the time, but it's looking like that's gonna be the path I'm gonna end up taking. Thanks for all the nice comments and encouragement. I'm not really a quitter at all, my GF gets mad at me at times, but after seeing this article, It's looking more and more like the towel is getting thrown in. Unless i can find a loan soon to get the shop set up and finish moving and get another lift to start out with, It might be the end of days for business. Thanks everyone.

This is not a bug, it is a feature. It happens in all echelons and both parties. National Congess is the most egregious. But don't for a second think that they are alone.

This is the Deep State, Swamp Creatures, or whatever you want to name them feeding off the tit of our tax dollars. They are the Progressive Democrat AND Republican elected officials and bureaucrats who basically feed off the same actions for different reasons.

I suppose the major difference is the Progressive Democrats will never stand against the Liberals where the Progressive Republicans pay lip service when it doesn’t matter in votes they know they can’t win, and fold like a straw house in the wind when they can win and make a difference for Conservatives. Some are just beginning to realize you can’t bargain with people who are not honorable.
