COMMENTARY | The government is slowly swallowing up small businesses with their growing reach. Job creation is a key to kick-starting this economy but creating government jobs will kill small businesses across the country. President Barack Obama is talking to the public about creating new jobs for small business but his actions and intentions will eventually destroy the entrepreneurial spirit in the United States.
President Obama is once again focusing on those entities and organizations that helped him get elected in 2008 and will help him in 2012 as well. The American Jobs Act is actually the American Union Building Act.
Obama states in his speech, posted on the White House website, "The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple: to put more people back to work and more money in the pockets of those who are working. It will create more jobs for construction workers, more jobs for teachers, more jobs for veterans, and more jobs for long-term unemployed."
It would be more appropriate for Obama to speak the truth. The purpose of the American Jobs Act is simple: to put more union people back to work and more money in union coffers so Obama can win re-election.
If Obama wishes to make his statement true he will assure the public there will be an open bidding process on all new roads projects and school rebuilding projects. Assure the public union workers will not be required on these projects and small businesses will make up more than 75 percent of the work force on these new jobs projects.
This will never happen for one simple reason, this is not a jobs bill. This is an effort to build loyalty to President Obama for the 2012 presidential election. Reaction to the speech has been tepid at best and despite Obama's impassioned speech, the only support he is receiving is from union heads and staunchly Democratic companies.
If the current administration is serious about creating jobs and building up small business they will rework this bill. Obama can focus on building small business and making laws easier to start a small business. This will never happen with this president. He has no interest in small businesses and entrepreneurs starting up new companies.
