SBA's Budget Snafu

I bet the folks at the Small Business Administration regret their decision in 2005 not to ask Congress for any money in fiscal 2006 to pay for the administrative costs of running the agency's disaster assistance program. Instead, the New York Times reports today, SBA officials figured they could get by on money left over from previous disasters. That worked for last year, but in this year's world of long-running continuing resolutions, the agency's about to run out of money to run the program.
