On the recordMarch 2, 2010
We, as a caucus, have been fighting so hard to shift the focus from speculation on Wall Street to job creation on Main Street. We understand that two out of every three new jobs in this country are coming from small business. Now, they may not make the headlines. It may mean you have lots and lots of small businesses, but that's the engine of our growth. One thing we still do better than any other country in the world is innovate. We are better entrepreneurs. We are really good at this. It's within our small businesses that we see this innovation taking place, and we need to make sure that we are giving the kind of support that small businesses need, whether that's through direct lending, whether that's through the suspension of capital gains tax for small business to bring nontraditional lenders in, or whether that's providing the infrastructure and the workforce development that allows those small businesses to flourish.
