Do we finally have a hero, and a real friend in Washington? This is the question small businesses all across America are asking themselves.
“The way that the economy is going to come out of a recession is not by big business hiring but by small business hiring,” said Senator Mary L. Landrieu, Democrat of Louisiana, who is championing the measure. Denying small businesses access to credit is having “spiraling” effect on the economy, she added.
As you read the quote offered above from the New York Times, it is near impossible not to be hopeful and encouraged.
There is a an old mantra that goes "we're all in this together" and it usually is used during tough economic periods such as we face currently. Unfortunately, organizations such as American Express, Advanta, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo do not buy into this concept.
Will Senator Landrieu be the "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" of our day? Lets hope and pray so!
