'If you want banks to start lending to businesses, then you need to stop all the Fed intervention and let interest rates float freely...you know, as in freely in a free market'

Are you saying the yield curve would be much steeper without the Fed intervention? But then they have even more incentive to buy treasuries than lend to small businesses since if the debt coverage ratio won't meet lending standards now why will it work in a lending environment where the borrower might be paying 2-3-5? higher than right now?
