Heidi Heitkamp said "We have now had this experience of 3\1/2\ months-- really 4 months because we are at the end of October--with no opportunity for a small business to actually look at how they could grow that small business. We know we have lost jobs all across America in States where they are economically challenged. Opportunities are there. We know that the large institutions, the large manufacturers in our country, some of which are in Senator Cantwell's State, rely on this small business chain of businesses, and those are the businesses that have been hit the hardest. If we wait, again, for another promise that we are going to put it on another vehicle--how much more inactivity, how much more disruption to these small businesses can these small supply chains have given their economics? Isn't it true that a small business is much more challenged by a day's delay in opening up the Ex-Im Bank than a large corporation?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
