Are the Republicans helping small business?
Not as far as 13 federal investigations are concerned. They say that this administration has been cutting funding to the Small Business Administration for the past 5 years and will continue to do so.
I understand that by law, the government has to give 23% of all money given in federal contracts to small businesses with 100 or less employees. They aren’t getting it. It’s fraudulently going to big corporations and it doesn’t look as if the chambers or small business organizations are doing anything to help.
The Democrats are trying to get Transparency in Contracting passed so that we can find out where $79.6 billion that was announced by the SBA went. In fact, Lloyd Chapman of the American Small Business League www.asbl.com has offered $10,000 to anyone who can tell him what has happened to the money!
