We definately need to promote small businesses that provide services and products to AMERICANS. My little town here was founded on manufacturing. We have a large General Electric facility, a coke plant(metal), a forge and a whole bunch of old buildings no longer in use. We lost a paper mill, a sterilization equipment producer, a shingle producer and several other large employers over the last 10 years. Most of which were moved out of the country. We really need to provide incentives for these companies to stay here. The oportunities for small businesses to be created is greatly increased when you can add a large employer to the area. Unfortunately, as we all know, it is equally as difficult for these businesses to survive when you remove that large employer. It's time America invests in itself, and as much as people like to complain about BO he seems to understand this.
