Obama to Senate GOP: Drop the Blockade, Pass Small Business Relief Bill

Wonder why no one ever asks how something is being paid for. We are now hearing out of DC that the current bills are PAID FOR, and will not add to the deficit, but no one ever asks HOW they are paid for. We have no money. We are borrowing from every country with anything to lend, yet DC is telling us this small business bill is paid for. WHERE DID THE MONEY COME FROM?

What Obama is offering small business owners is not going to do a damn thing. No successful business person is going to put themselves into debt by borrowing money, nor increase their employee base, until they feel confident they understand the full impact of the Obama agenda. Why would they do that? Obama is making political hay, the business people understand this, and they WILL NOT bite.

The Republican stratergy for the past 10 years is to do everything possible to make a democrat look bad, even to the detriment of the future of America so they can get into power and run the government for the benefit of the super rich. These strategists create grass root organizations like the Tea party, Freedom works, etc. and use wedge issues like birth control, gays, immigration, religion, race baiting to rile up their base to vote for Republican candidates. When will the middle class republican party supporter wake up to the fact that they are being used. Give us intelligent dialog, work toward the middle, make decisions that are beneficial to all Americans, protect democracy, not create a theocracy within in which we all lose our freedoms and don't let giant corporation own our congress. Wake up America before it is too late.

I don't understand, if we have a Bill that would help put people back to work and help small business's that doesn't add to the deficit then why is it being stalled. That simply doesn't make sense to be when we are in a mess here with growing the economy wouldn't more jobs kick start that. More jobs means more money and more taxes paid in as well as giving people a better moral to spend a little. I don't get it, do the republicans not care about this Country?

Once again the Republicans are standing in the way, and saying "NO" to a bill that would give relief to small business. The reason they say "NO" is that , according to them, there are not enough amendments added to the bill. Know what amendments thy are talking about? The ones that would extend the Bush cuts for the rich This is the same reasoning they gave when , without any shame at all, would not extend health benefits to the 9/11"FIRST RESPONDERS" who now have health problems because of their heroic deeds that day, saving people without any concern for themselves-----how do you say "NO" to those people?

Its not about making jobs here in the USA and its not about putting more money in the hands of banks to make loans to small businesses. The American people and businesses have done this to themselves. We all want higher wages and the companies want lower wages and more profit. We are working ourselves right out of own nation. China and India are in a position to have economic growth like we did back in the early 1900's. America might as well go back to being farmers and cattle ranchers because we don't have far to go until we are saturated with all of the durable goods we need. What will happen then? Has it already happened?

"Extending expiring Bush-era tax cuts for the middle class" We've been told for more than 8 years that the Bush tax cuts went only to the upper class. Now we find out that they also went to the middle and lower classes? Did the Dems lie to us for the past 8+ years or are they lying now? There is no wrong answer....

Republicans did not have the votes to stop the Healthcare bill - BUT - they have the vote to stop Obama's bills??????

The best TAX BREAK for small business is get rid of the health care.........if you can't understand how much more it is to pay someone $1000.00 more a month per person I guess you just don't get it. It comes right out of the onwners pocket. IM PRETTY SURE THIS WON'T MAKE IT ON LINE

One sure way to increase hiring by small business would be to repeal the health care bill. Small business men have no fear of the Republicans and their votes in the Senate. It is Obama and his anti business policies that they fear. The President seems to believe that the solution to every problem is to throw money at it. That solution has failed everywhere else it was tried. Why should it be expected to work here?
