There is a ton of information available. Denying the truth, does not change it. Saying the Chamber is not partisan is like saying the Heritage Foundation is not partisan. Please.

Well... yeah, Bob, they have no choice but to be partisan because Obama's and the Dems' agenda causes destruction to the economy. Did you not read this?

Support for Obama and the Dems is support for the further destruction of our economy. Is that what you support?

The US Chamber of Commerce objects to policies which makes it more DIFFICULT to conduct business, regardless of who's writing the bill. It just so happens that right NOW Democrats are the ones.. They cant object to Republican bills because they ARENT writing them..

There are very few nonpartisan organizations, my objection is implying that the US Chamber is one of those, it is not!

Do you support unfettered spending by this administration and sitting Democrats?

Well, Republicans and the Chamber of Commerce support policies that GROW the economy. Obama and the Dems support policies that destroy economic growth. Which partisan group do you support? Those who promote economic growth? Or those who promote economic destruction?

Small business will not expand if the demand is not there.
The demand is not there if people don't have a sense of financial stability.

Wealth was measured by your home's value and equities value, not what was in your savings account. That distorted the true savings rate of Americans. Now that those home/equity values have tanked it's becoming painfully obvious that Americans just didn't save for a rainy day and overleveraged themselves with debt they now cannot pay off.

About 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

You can continue throwing money at this but the underlying debt is still there and rears it's ugly head once the money dries up as it is currently doing now with the stimulus money spent.

The point being is that Obama's economic policy uncertainty is holding back firm investment until there is some resolution as to just how much such policies will cost both small and large businesses.
