At an economic round table in Des Moines Tuesday morning, John McCain called on Congress to work to pass a new version of the economic bailout bill. In this news conference... McCain used Sonic Corporation as his idea of a small business quoting:

"Sonic Corporation, a drive-in restaurant chain based in Oklahoma, learned on Thursday that one of its lenders, GE Capital, had stopped extending new loans to the chain's franchisees. That will block plans to rebuild restaurants, add equipment and open new locations. When small businesses like Sonic franchisees can't borrow, contractors don't get the remodeling work, equipment-makers lose sales, and restaurants go out of business. It hurts the entire community."

What will we do if we can't have Happy Hour Slushies from 2-4 everyday of the week? That isn't that America I want to live in. I want Sonic. I want McCain. Hahaha

    • Of course he does have a point. The economy is in the trash. However, how long is this fix going to last if the economy doesn't change direction. I think of all the money spent on the war over the last years and I can't help but wonder if that money would have turned things around better. just a thought!!

    • He does prove a point here that contractors don't get the remodeling work, equipment-makers lose sales, people lose jobs, and restaurants go out of business, but I thought it was kind of ridiculous to mention Sonic as your small town company.
