On the recordJuly 29, 2010
We have before us the small business bill we have worked on so hard. As I went through the bill today, virtually every provision in this is bipartisan, except some are strictly Republicans with no Democrats involved. It expands access to credit for small business all across America, cuts taxes for small business, and expands domestic and foreign markets for small business. This has the potential of creating hundreds of thousands of jobs. The reason for that is that most jobs in America are small business jobs. Two-thirds of the jobs lost in America have been from small business. As I indicated today, I was disappointed that my friends on the other side of the aisle have not been willing to work with us. It seems to me the goalposts were moved often, but I have been here a while and I understand how things work.
