(Washington, D.C.) – Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) released the following statement about the signing of the Small Business Jobs Act into law by President Obama.
Earlier this month, Senator Murray spoke on the Senate floor to strongly urge her colleagues to put politics aside and support the Small Business Jobs Act. Senator Murray has been a long-time advocate for a $30 billion fund to help community banks lend to small businesses. Last year she introduced similar legislation and worked directly with Secretary Tim Geithner and President Obama to make certain that small businesses on Main Street are given the support they need.
Joe Fugere, owner of Seattle-based Tutta Bella, joined the President at the signing ceremony. During President Obama’s last visit to Seattle, Joe had the opportunity to participate in a small business roundtable to highlight the importance of providing small businesses with access to credit and loans.
Read Senator Murray’s statement below:
“This is a major victory for small businesses and job-seekers throughout our state. This lending program will allow Washington state’s small businesses to once again be the engine of job growth in our state.
“For too long small business owners have gone to community banks, seeking credit and loans so they can expand their business and hire more people only to find the lending windows closed. Some small business owners turned to credit cards, amassing huge personal debts with high interest rates. Others closed their stores, unable to pay employees and stock their shelves. This bill will provide real relief for small business owners.
“As I traveled across Washington state, small business owners like Joe Fugere would tell me over and over again that what they need most is credit to expand their business and hire more people. This critical legislation will do just that by expanding lending at community banks across Washington state.
“I’m so proud to have worked to get this critical legislation passed and to the President’s desk to help Joe and small business owners like him across the state. This is a huge step to getting small businesses hiring again.”
A democrat asking to “put politics aside”?”
Bwahahahahahah!
Since virtually none of them have ever had a real job, what else do these loons have except politics?
"We've got to ask, why is this man (Osama bin Laden) so popular around the world? Why are people so supportive of him in many countries that are riddled with poverty?" Murray said... that bin Laden has been "out in these countries for decades, building schools, building roads, building infrastructure, building day care facilities, building health care facilities, and the people are extremely grateful. We haven't done that." - Senator Patty Murray
Let me translate this for you...(Stewardess, I speak Murray...)
If you are a small business owner, your taxes are going up into the stratosphere on January 1st and there is nothing you can do about it. However, if you are politically acceptable, and fill out all the papers that the Government wants, they will lend you some of that tax money back at a very reasonable (for the Gubment...) interest rate.
If you are found to be politically unacceptable, as evidenced by your attendance at a Tea Party function for example, you are obviously an extremist and it is your obscene income that needs to be redistributed, so sit down and shut up. Keep a shovel handy so you can dig your own potatoes this winter, and be ready to depart for gulag...
There. Wasn’t that easy?
They’re going to tax small businesses then give them stimulus money? Huh?
Say WA? Evergreen State ping I’m thinking more and more of just opening a miniature golf course on the beach in Panama and letting the rest of the world go to heck.
