Ask The People Who Have Created Jobs

Press Release

I'm Sam Graves, the ranking Member on the Small Business Committee. Unquestionably, health care coverage for employees is a small business' number one concern and unfortunately small businesses aren't the number one concern when it comes to health care reform here in Congress. H.R. 3200 has employer mandates in it; it has tax increases in it. Small businesses are our job creators and history has proven that they will be the ones who will lead us out of this recession. Uncertainly is looming out there for small businesses. They don't know whether to hire new workers or wait and see how much taxes are going to be increased.

Today, Speaker Pelosi is going to hold an economic forum to discuss job creation. Bringing a whole bunch of economists into a room is not how you discuss job creation. The way you do it is to talk to small businesses because they're the ones that have actually balanced a budget. Small businesses are the ones that have actually made a payroll. Small businesses are the ones that have actually created a job.
