Policy Argument Evaluation
A policymaker proposes a new government-backed loan program for small businesses. They argue, 'This program should be strictly means-tested and available only to entrepreneurs from low-income backgrounds. Individuals earning over $100,000 a year have ample access to private credit markets and do not require such support.' Based on economic data from the US in 2019 regarding credit access, critically evaluate the policymaker's assumption about high-income individuals.
