- Not a bad idea, but seems a bit small bore. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jul 28, 11:39 3
  - 7% tax credit to left handed chemists that invent a new plant based substitute for chicken. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 14:20 2
    - Exactly. I think to the average person, that’s how it reads. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 28, 15:13 1
      - Given that the majority of Pell Grant recipients probably couldn't afford to start a business straight out of college, it's pretty - TWuG Jul 28, 15:24
- I think the idea is to encourage people to start businesses in those areas and if they're less burdened by their debt that could be a more - Krusty Jul 28, 11:06 3
  - Sure that’s the idea. I just don’t think it ends up impacting more than 50 people. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 28, 11:13 2
    - But in the end those 50 people could start businesses that work and employee multiple people from those disadvantaged areas. That would be worth it to - Krusty Jul 28, 11:19 1

    - I think it's a good idea that even if it doesn't equal up to other programs can be helpful to get people to start businesses in areas - Krusty Jul 28, 11:12 4
      - It’s essentially a tax abatement to encourage people to move somewhere. Same principle. - Volnelk Jul 28, 11:14 3
        
        Why is that a problem if we get something good for the people of that area? -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 11:20 2

        I'm with on it being too minimal to be something to run on. It needs to be part of a package not on its own. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 13:39
    - I get what you’re saying. It’s touting something that’s not all that amazing, sure. But if it’s part of a larger plan that’d be much better. -- nm - Qale Jul 28, 11:09 1
