President Obama has proposed using $30 billion from the TARP bank bailout program to create a small-business lending fund to spur job growth. Law Professor Cornelius Hurley, director of the Morin Center for Banking and Financial Law, said he has been suggesting such a fund but that bankers may be skeptical that it may come with crippling red tape.
“If the Treasury were given a ‘do over’ on the original TARP program, it would look something like President Obama’s new small business lending fund.”
