According to the NFIB (National Federation of Independent Businesses), 74% of small business owners didn't hire in April. Today, Bernie Marcus the co-founder of Home Depot said: “Small businesses create two out of every three new jobs in America. When small businesses struggle, the entire economy suffers. Rather than encouraging economic growth, policies from Washington are making it difficult for small businesses to grow into bigger businesses. Massive government expansion into health care, banking and a wide variety of other areas has become a major hurdle to job creation — and small businesses are being hit the hardest.” More government interference, control and reckless spending isn't the answer. Instead, Washington needs to get out of the way and eliminate the burdensome red tape. What do you think?
