Is Anybody Listening In Washington?

The US Small Business Administration says over 50% of Americans are employed by the 30 million small businesses in the US.  About 4.3 million businesses with 19 or fewer employees closed during the fourth quarter of 2007 through the fourth quarter of 2008, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  The government is pledging to invest $150 billion over the next decade on energy technology and says that could create 5 million jobs.  Isn’t saving jobs far easier than creating new jobs?  This recession has wiped out 7.2 million plus jobs.  If the government had made an effort to help shore up small businesses, rather than throwing crap on the wall to see what would stick, most of the small businesses that closed would still be around and unemployment would not be this huge problem.  Small business, not big corporations are what make this such a great country, but is anybody listening in Washington?  Click here for more information on software to run your small business!
