Will Obama Bring Back Government Contracts To Small Business?
Of the three leading presidential candidates have ideas to help entrepreneurs, leading Democratic candidate, Barak Obama appears to be getting the most support from the small business community. Recently, the American Small Business league has endorsed Senator Barak Obama for president.
Since 2002 a long series of federal investigations have found billions of dollars in what should have gone to small business contracts finding their way to some of the largest corporations in the world. It is a record of rising above big business influence and other lobbyists. Plus his proven commitment to small businesses have encouraged the American small business league to give them their official endorsement.
This is a bit of a shock sense if you searched Obama’s presidential campaign website for his position on small business issues. You’re not going to find very much. And doesn’t have it’s own category on important issues. Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that it’s not quite as exciting as foreign policy and civil rights. But even in the additional issues section topics such as the arts and hurricane Katryna even sportsmen in transportation seemed to be more important than the well-being of the millions of small business owners around the country registered to vote. You will however find some information on topics that up his rallies. For example, issues such as health insurance trade in research and development tax credits are all issues that we suppose, affects the small business community.
There are however a plan within the Obama campaign to foreword to progress of awarding government contracts to small business that has been stomped on over the last eight years by the Bush administration. Let’s hope all the change we’ve been hearing about will have some effect on small business owners, and not simply turn out to be empty rhetoric.
