I urge my colleagues to not only talk the talk, but walk the walk by ensuring this bill does not add red ink to our budget deficit.

We need to take a stand and make sure the work we do this year does not add to the debt.

I want to make sure we know and the Federal Government is preventing businesses from doing what businesses want to do.

small businesses are the job creators in our communities, and particularly in a rural district like mine, small business entities really are the lifeblood of what happens throughout our communities.

If Members wish to truly reduce the Nation's deficit, then supporting this amendment should be noncontroversial.

It is incomprehensible to me that agencies remain either unable or unwilling to comply with the RFA.

We are depending on small firms to reinvigorate our economy, so we must provide an environment in which I think that they can flourish and do just that.

I am especially glad, by the way, that the President said he supported getting rid of it this year.

Until entrepreneurs can get an accurate idea of the new government regulations that lay ahead, they are unlikely to invest in expanding their enterprises.

Unsustainable deficits can result in higher interest rates that hit small businesses especially hard.

The President has repeatedly stated that small businesses will lead our economic recovery.
