The recent revelations about the Biden Administration’s Community Navigator Pilot Program (CNPP) expose yet another failure of the Biden White House. The Community Navigator Pilot was the Biden Administration Small Business Program, which the administration claimed helped over 300,000 small businesses. With $100 million allocated to assist underserved small businesses, the program’s claimed success has been proven false.
The real stats uncover yet another Biden Administration claimed victory is false. This is just one example of how the Biden Administration has utterly failed small businesses. For a fuller examination on this, you can read this Forbes article.
The article from Forbes shows how Biden has destroyed small businesses so much that he wiped away all the progress President Trump made during his first term as president.
The Reality Behind Biden Administration Small Business Program
The SBA reported that 350,000 individuals were trained and 33,000 received one-on-one counseling. However, if we consider potential double counting, these numbers drop dramatically to 175,000 trained and 16,500 counseled. This discrepancy raises serious questions about the program’s effectiveness and transparency.
A Costly Endeavor which produced horrible results
With $100 million spent, the CNPP’s impact appears limited compared to other initiatives with similar budgets. Let’s explore how other programs have achieved more substantial results:
1. SCORE Mentorship Program
- Budget: Approximately $10 million annually
- Impact: Provides free mentoring and workshops to over 500,000 small business owners each year.
- Success: SCORE has a proven track record of helping entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses effectively.
2. Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses
- Budget: Over $500 million since inception
- Impact: Offers education and support to small business owners, resulting in significant revenue growth and job creation.
- Success: Participants report increased revenues and job creation rates far exceeding national averages.
Lessons Learned from Biden Administration Small Business Program
The CNPP’s inefficiencies highlight a critical need for accountability in government spending. Programs like SCORE and Goldman Sachs demonstrate that with clear objectives and efficient management, substantial outcomes can be achieved even with smaller budgets.
Moving Past the Biden Administration Small Business Program
For future initiatives to succeed, it’s essential to:
- Set Clear Targets: Define measurable goals to ensure accountability.
- Ensure Transparency: Provide accurate reporting to maintain public trust.
- Learn from Successful Models: Adopt best practices from programs with proven success.
The Biden Administration has failed small businesses, and it is foolish to think Biden’s successor, which was a part of this trash heap program, will do any better.
Another Example of Big Government Failing Small Businesses
The CNPP serves as a cautionary tale about the pitfalls of mismanaged government programs. By learning from successful models and prioritizing transparency, we can create initiatives that genuinely benefit small businesses and foster economic growth.
First, we must elect a president and congress who actually knows how to serve small businesses.
