"Small businesses are doing really well."

I swear. He said that.

I'd say 50% of my clients either have a small business, are self-employed, or work with or for a small business.

Robust? Yeah, considering how many want bankruptcy advice.
Healthy? like a malignant tumor.

1. They're Sure Putting A Lot of Lipstick On This Piggie

I like the name C-SPIN...fits this morning in specific.

They have that old RNC redneck "analyizing" the Democrats. This dude worked for Strom Thurmond...hearing him give an "objective" observation about Obama and Clinton was condescending at best. They couldn't have found a REAL journalist?

Seems like they've been bringing on "experts" (most from the AEI and Heritage Institute) that are gonna tell us not to believe what we see in our bank statements or paychecks. I started a small business in the 90's...no way in hell could I do it today. The repugnican corporate welfare system uses the small businesses like they do the fundies...say sweet things to get the votes, shit on them afterwards. Sure...throw a couple bones out there and hope that settles down the barking...meanwhile the large corporates continue to dominate "regulation" and special perks.

2. Making those tax cuts permanent...

Just what small businesses need. NOT!

He was a loathsome little creep, wasn't he?
