That is why I am introducing the Main Street Jobs and Opportunity Act. To grow a healthy economy, we need to foster policies that help small businesses do what they do best: bring their products to market and hire new workers in the community. It is time for Big Government to stop squeezing the small family farmer in Jackson County, the local diner in Eaton County, and the manufacturer in Monroe County. Instead of building up Washington or Wall Street, let's focus on helping Main Street. ____________________
