WASHINGTON — Perhaps the last best hope of Democrats to pass legislation aimed at creating jobs before the November elections seemed to be crumbling in the Senate on Wednesday as Republicans signaled that they would block a bill to expand government lending programs and grant an array of tax breaks to small businesses

its not just a 'small business' bill

you cant be that naive can you? what else was in the bill? what amendments were added to the bill? for the last 40 years there has not been a bill that went through congress that didnt have other legislation attached to it.
