President Barack Obama wants to provide community banks with $30 billion to spur lending to small businesses, but local banks might not want or need to take it. Obama's plan, which he announced on Feb. 2 at a speech in Nashua, NH, proposes to take $30 billion of the money that was repaid by Wall Street banks and use it to create a new Small Business Lending Fund. This fund will provide capital for community banks on Main Street.
