Yeah right. With 60 subscribers our childrens, children won't ever see it paid back. Give me a break, this is an out right give away. I've got about 20 neighbors that would like to have fiber to their houses, maybe I can get 1/3 of what they gave them as a "loan".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21189398 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:44:17 EDT Re: USDA announces $342 million in loans http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21188632 BF69 :

WTF! 60 subscribers? Fiber? 2,000 sq. ft. facility? Sounds like a pork barrel loan to me...
Um it's a LOAN. Which by most definitions means it has to be paid back with INTEREST. So who cares? Now if it was a GRANT which doesn't have to be paid back, that's different.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21188632 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:41:24 EDT USDA announces $342 million in loans http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21186240 DustySilicon :
