Mitt Romney Gave Economic Speech At Company That Benefited From Stimulus Funds

Submitted by Jasmine

Kinsler Construction Services received a $1.25 million loan from the Small Business Administration as part of the stimulus plan in 2009.

The Recovery.Gov web site describes the loan as being designed “to aid small businesses which are unable to obtain financing in the private credit marketplace.”

In addition to the small business loan, Kinzler Construction Services also received nearly $650,000 in stimulus funds through grants provided by the Department of Energy. The grants were first reported by the left leaning blog, Think Progress.

Romney has made the plight of small businesses a key line of attack on Obama in the final weeks of his campaign.

“I want to make sure that we champion small business, we help small business grow and thrive,” Romney said on Thursday in Cincinnati before embarking on a bus tour across the battleground state of Ohio.

Oh, you mean like President Obama does?
