And runs from props up "too big" is no longer mobile giant promoting job-generators is wise. Finally, Mom and Pop get businesses, small businesses, as well as a garage start-ups, Americans on the payroll.
Small Business Administration (SBA) data show that small businesses create 64 percent of net jobs per year over the last 15 years. Moreover, that a Kauffman Foundation study shows that companies are less than five years old, the engine of that growth.
But for these companies, the recession, particularly acute. According to a report by the Senate last year, U.S. businesses have fewer than 20 employees suffered steep job losses than larger companies. Unemployment hovers at 10 percent, the President should play a pioneering role for small businesses. In an appearance in Nashua, New Hampshire, yesterday, Obama detailed his proposed Small Business Lending Program.
Let us examine his proposals:
30 billion U.S. dollars from the federal Community diverted funds to rescue banks to lend to small businesses. Yesterday in Nashua, President Obama introduced his proposal for 30 billion U.S. dollars of Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds for a new diversion of small business lending fund for community banks. To do this, "said the White House, an act of Congress to amend the current law might be expected.
On Capitol Hill yesterday, met White House Budget Director Peter Orszag with severe criticism of Senator Judd Gregg (RN.H.), accused the administration of the TARP as a "piggy bank" and used for political purposes.
Certainly, access to credit is the lifeblood of small business is hard and failed. if we direct money to the banks, we should not make the same mistake twice. Federal funds should come with mandatory requirements of loan distribution, to ensure that banks actually lend to.
Better yet, the Obama capital for micro-enterprises that directly channel through the Small Business Administration. Until the introduction of legislation Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, D-Maryland, proposed rescue plan funnel funds through the SBA itself. Infrastructure is in place and such a process would be faster and more efficiently.
At the very least, Obama needs to authorize funding for the SBA loan guarantees consistent. as part of the Recovery Act, the SBA guarantees 75 increased to 90 percent and eliminated fees, so it attractive for banks to lend. That was helpful, but inconsistent financing of small businesses in 1069 left a waiting list late in the year 2009. Further funding has been extended, but this also for the swing again off-again makes it impossible to plan for small businesses, and in some cases, to survive.
Tax credits for hiring and wage increases. The purpose of this program is to support the fence companies take the plunge and hire new employees. While tax credits are rarely the reason for the inclusion of new employees for the company growth can be expected to provide push catalyze setting.
After 33 billion U.S. dollars would be Obama's tax credit proposal, employers receive a tax credit of $ 5,000 for each new employee recruited and paid in 2010, the net recovery received from social security, if the increase in wages. By limiting the maximum credit of $ 500,000 per farm, the intent is to focus on small businesses, although all firms would be considered.
Abolition of capital gains taxes on investments in small businesses. This is a proposal to win. For small companies for investment, a zero tax rate on capital gains will attract private investors to share with friends and family to critical funding for small start-ups. Such incentives to reward companies involved start-ups and a "level playing field for global investors, unlike many other countries do not tax the capital gains.
Tax incentives for investment in new plants and equipment. It allows businesses to write off, rather than to write off new equipment to help companies buy what they already planned to buy. Encourage companies to ramp up rather accelerates the creation of jobs.
Moreover, Obama's promise to strengthen the Union, the U.S. export growth over the next five years, doubling small and large businesses alike. Real growth comes from our relationships with the rest of the world, and over the stalled trade agreement with South Korea, Panama and Colombia, the markets are open to U.S. goods. Promotion of free trade and the creation of a national export initiative would not only benefit the traditional exports but also an uptick in exports of sparks new services such as marketing or accounting.
One thing is missing that would help create jobs, it is to reform immigration. Founded in the last decade and half, full quarter of all technology companies in the United States were started by immigrants, eBay, Google and Yahoo a few. The rules for the EB-5 visa or business visa "to benefit those who start businesses and to extend their visas if they would hire American workers sparks job creation plan. Simply put, the United States on the global talent to create jobs at home.
Given the turbulence of the past 18 months many small businesses remain cautious about hiring and political uncertainty will not help you. Health care reform, energy policy, fiscal policy and financial reform, all outstanding issues with significant impact on the cost of labor. Clarity on a number of these questions will help companies lease obligations.
Obama sees the need to increase employment, without significantly increasing the debt of our nation's juggling, it is advisable to focus on the entrepreneur. he must not forget that small is big. To our country back on its feet, we must help small businesses get back to work.
