New England
Businesses in 3 NH counties can get disaster loans
The loans are available in Carroll, Rockingham and Strafford counties because they are contiguous to one or more Maine counties named in a disaster declaration. The New Hampshire counties border York, Cumberland and Oxford counties in Maine.
Businesses and non-profits that suffered a direct financial loss as a result of excessive rain and flooding from June 19-30 may qualify for low-interest loans of up to $2 million.

Shouldn't those be financial
Shouldn't those be financial aids instead of loans? I don't know how do business people cope with that but I think they need more substantial help. They held their business in risk area, they account for the economical development in the area, I think they deserve more than a payday loan.
First let's agree that these
First let's agree that these "loans" carry very little if any interest, and generally, are rarely paid back. Business have many tax loopholes to escape paying federal "loans." Next welfare is defined as betterment of person and NOT the money given to someone. That part of the definition has been "hi-jacked" by extreme right wing wacko's like yourself. I used the term corporate welfare simply because there isn't a simple term to describe the enormous largess given corporations by the government, and most people understand what I was referring to. I'm sorry I could not dummy it down enough for you to understand, I tried.

Tron, when they give it away
Tron, when they give it away it's welfare, when it's a loan that needs to be paid back, not so much. Perhaps the problem with the welfare system is that people don't understand the word.
verified Tron, the first line says
Tron, the first line says "disaster loans available" which means they business will have to pay it back. Where if it was truly welfare, they would not. It is by definition impossible to give welfare to a business The definition of welfare "financial or other assistance to an individual or family from a city, state, or national government" from dictionary.com. Welfare is paid to individuals and families not to businesses. I think David is right.
The term "corporate welfare" has been hi-jacket by the left. Here is how those on the left define welfare. If a company gets to keep more of what they earned, that is considered "welfare". But if an individual who does not pay income tax gets money back, that is considered a "refund". How can you get a income tax refund, if one does not pay income tax.

Tron, it is nice to see that you are quick to go into to the gutter with name calling, "extreme right wing wacko's like yourself". I guess if you cannot make your point with facts, I guess restoring to name calling is all you have left. Classy, very classy.

Perhaps YOUR confused with the difference between people where it's a matter of life or death versus businesses not so much. MAYBE if people like you would understand the difference we wouldn't be in this mess!

Mr. Baldacci's snappy reply: "Without employers, you don't have employees." He adds: "The best social services program is a job."
The thinking on how to best help people on welfare is to prevent them from needing it in the first place by ensuring they don't fall into such dire straights to begin with. Lay off the bitterness Tron and give it some thought, will you?
verified More corporate welfare?
More corporate welfare? When will it stop?

Ronald, If you have not
Ronald,
If you have not noticed, everything I’ve listed is a growth in the size of government, a growth in government spending or a program in crisis.
A tax cut does not belong in that list. While a tax cut may grow the size of the national debt, a tax cut does not necessarily grow the size of government nor does it increase spending.
Moreover, you selectively forgot to add your favorites, Bill Clinton and Obama, to your list of tax cutting presidents. Any reason why? Maybe your Cuban pharmacist is giving you placeboes!

Not surprising
It is not surprising that the Czarist and racist factions of the old "Conservatively" Russian front are continually becoming seen all over again. The entire facets of hatred and fear seem to be predated in concepts from Stalin and Hitler himself. Using the vileness of the "outsider" as the most dangerous among us. Mr. Nachman you remind me of a classmate of mine who had felt that as she was of Czech descent that my mothers lineage of Irish-Jewry made it so that I would have to kneel before here.
As a Baptist this is rather disappointing to see that for all of the physics based knowledge one can posses creating an air of fear is the only true self-gratification one can get. In fact this is a bondage between those in the systems of your own family as well. The racism and the scaffolded humanist rejections with an air of continual fear is little more then self-centered egotistical facets. It seems to thrive on fear and donations to establish a "cult" mandated sense of the opine in writing and creates a narrow minded view of those who think differently.
Mr. Nachman while you enjoy the daily purges of illegal "aliens" does any of this truthfully set you so far apart from Stalin or Hitler? The very nature of the article which you write is more of instilling fear toward others; then little more then that? Is this a case where in reverse desperation anyone not deemed American would have to kneel down before you? The questions becomes of the VDare project just how much of a diaspora it would create and exiles as well if they had ever been given enough control to expel other Americans.
