Obama Promises Help for Small Businesses
President Obama State of the Union 2010
Here is a recap of the small business initiatives mentioned in President Obama’s first State of the Union Address last night.
Obama Promises Help for Small Businesses. The President devoted two-thirds of his 70-minute speech to the economy. For example, he promises to increase funding for small business lending to $30 billion. In addition, assuming he can convince Congress, he promises to create more jobs, eliminate capital gains tax, and double American exports.
