Screw Congress, Create More Jobs

(The Oval Office.)

POTUS: Okay, that’s it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I have had it with you people. Since there is now an end-of-summer sale on gross negligence and stupidity, Congress is again dragging its feet on approving my $30 billion program to cut taxes and boost lending for small businesses. We know most new jobs are created by small businesses, especially the “gazelle” firms in growth areas like clean energy and biotech. And we know that small business lending has never fully recovered from the 2008 financial melt-down, which I did not create, and people who think otherwise can go take a flying one. So now I have a radical, off the wall, Oh My God, shock without the awe plan. We are going to forget Congress. You heard me. Forget Congress. Screw ‘em. Get the banks to lend money to small businesses. I know, I know, it sounds Looney Tunes. But listen to me.
