H.R. 2284 [110th]: To amend the Small Business Act to expand and improve the assistance provided by Small Business Development Centers to Indian tribe members, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians. This bill provided for grants to Small Business Development centers to develop small business activities on Indian lands and on the lands of Hawaiian and Alaskan natives. Now, I do not think I have to point out that this is a discriminatory bill. Why do certain ethnic groups deserve subsidies over the average America, especially those specifically in two states? This is a blatant violation of the general welfare clause (of course, which Congress has failed to recognized for a long time). More importantly, why in the heck does the taxpayer need to pay for any small business subsidies? Please show me the enumerated power that covers this. Free flow of capital in functioning markets will find the best home. The idea that we need federal funding of any new startup, particularly small scale ventures, is anathema to every principle of microeconomics. Yes, and Cathy voted on this one.
