Quote of the Week

"Overall lending to small businesses is down 33%, the unemployment rate is nearly 10% and today we mark the six month anniversary since the President signed the so-called "stimulus" package into law. All of the signs are clear that the wasteful spending of the stimulus is not helping our economy.  Speaker Pelosi and President Obama gave us a stimulus package allocating less than one percent to small businesses, the job creators of our nation.  This simply does not make sense."  (House Small Business Committee Ranking Member Sam Graves (R-MO))
