Small business cannot expand without an employed customer base to expand into. We need to stop allowing the dumping in our markets of consumer goods manufactured by overseas industrial workers who are averaging (last I looked) $136 a month. And a national health care system would take the burden of these constantly increasing insurance premiums off the backs of business owners, and bring the function of shared risk to the federal level, making it all inclusive...and have the added bonus of finally bringing some much needed control to skyrocketing drug and health-care costs. But all the stimulus and credit programs in the world will not help, until we plug the massive leaks in our trade deficits.
