Title: Where is the opportunity for small business?
Post by: WhiskeyGirl on March 12, 2010, 10:45:54 AM
I listened so some on TV make excuses for Obama sending 80% of some stimulus money to foreign workers and businesses.  Why? 

Why didn't that opportunity go to Americans? Among the excuses given - no big enough companies and American workers are to expensive.

How can a minimum wage American compete with a Chinese government worker/slave making $.05 an hour? 

In America, some don't think the low minimum wage is moral or ethical.  How can government and private citizens continue to support Chinese workers?

There was an outcry for years that minority business got the shaft because they weren't 'big' enough to get large contracts, no one would give them the opportunity to grow, or the opportunities that would allow them gain big world experience.

Same excuses.

This time, the money goes to China and other foreign nations.

Why doesn't Obama give an American a job?  Opportunities?  Build a friendly business climate?
