I feel like I'm one of the only people in the country not fooled by Barack Obama's speeches. I have met and spoken with him. I worked on his campaign and endorsed him for president. I appeared on dozens of radio shows advocating for his election. Yet he hasn't done...

Tuesday night President Obama will deliver his State of the Union address. My guess is he is going to do the same thing in this address that he's done in the past: make promises he has no intention of keeping.
He's going to give us more campaign rhetoric, he...

With President Obama's recent proposal to consolidate six federal trade and commerce departments, small businesses finally have a seat on the president's cabinet -- for now.
Unfortunately, Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Karen Mills' appointment to cabinet-level membership is obviously nothing more than a temporary political ploy by Obama to...

Obama has duped the public, the media and Congress with his latest proposal to 'streamline' government.
He talks about reducing the size of the federal government and increasing efficiency but it's all a scam.
It's an insult to taxpayers' intelligence to say that combining the SBA with the...

President Obama's latest claim that he's going to shrink government by combining the Small Business Administration with the Department of Commerce is laughable.
He called a national press conference on the subject of shrinking government to only announce that he wants to combine one of the smallest agencies in the...

Regardless of whether the next president is a Republican or Democrat, whether it's Barack Obama or Mitt Romney or any other of the Republican frontrunners, one thing is guaranteed: he will lie.
He will lie to the American people, he will make promises he knows he has no intention...

Because my greatest fear is what the next president is going to do to the middle class and America's small businesses, I constantly watch coverage of the Republican primaries. Of course, one of the most popular subjects is the economy and jobs. But I've noticed something -- I have not...

Let me give you some advice I have been giving to people for a decade: quit listening to what your politicians are saying and start watching what they are doing.
If you look past the propaganda you'll see that the U.S. government is anti-small business. For over a...

Politically and economically, the U.S. in 2011 fell flat on its face. There are several reasons why our government miserably failed us this year but the most devastating reason is that it did absolutely nothing to help the economy. In fact, the Obama administration helped make matters worse. Here are...

The Obama administration has quietly adopted a series of anti-small business policies that will cost small businesses and minority-owned small businesses billions of dollars a month.
In the midst of the worst economic downturn in U.S. history, President Obama is abolishing the nation's oldest and most successful...

The Small Business Administration's Office of the Inspector General (SBA-OIG) released an audit report this month, criticizing the SBA's practice of misrepresenting the true percentage of federal small business contracts awarded.
The SBA designates certain types...

The House Speaker's staff posted a blog today (Dec. 1, 2011) titled, "Uncertainty Hampering Small Businesses, GOP Taking Action with Plan for Jobs," heavily criticizing the Obama administration for not taking small business concerns seriously.
Speaker Boehner is correct that President Obama is failing to support small businesses,...

For years I've been listening to pundits and politicians talk about job creation in America and I'm constantly stunned and frustrated because no one is talking about the single most fundamental issue related to job creation in America.
Our political representatives have tried everything except the only thing that...

The super committee was so politically deadlocked this week that they called it quits early (just in time for Thanksgiving).
The delay makes no difference though -- whether it comes through mandatory cuts or congressional compromise, a $1.5 trillion cut to federal spending means that competition for federal contracts will...

President Obama signed a new executive order on Wednesday to cut federal spending on promotional souvenir trinkets such as government pens, coffee mugs and t-shirts.
While it's nice to hear that taxpayers no longer have to pay for the government's fan gear (although some field trips to...

Imagine that you're President Obama and one of your economic advisers tells you that you can create millions of jobs without raising or cutting taxes and without any additional spending. Now imagine that same adviser telling you that you already know what the plan is, and in fact, you promised...

The indications that we are heading toward another recession are crystal clear. Markets are plunging, unemployment is soaring and investors, businesses and the general public are losing faith in Washington's ability to stimulate the economy. However, a bill aimed at directing federal infrastructure spending to the middle class could change...

My staff at the American Small Business League (ASBL) and I have spent a week on the phone sounding the alarm about an anti-minority small-business policy proposed by the Obama administration.
Friday, Sept. 9, one day after President Obama announced the American Jobs Act, his administration quietly announced plans...

For twenty years I've sued the federal government on behalf of small businesses. I have won more than 25 lawsuits and legal battles against various agencies. I have over a dozen active lawsuits and 15 more to file. When the Supreme Court refused to hear a case I had against...

The first problem is that $300 billion is much too small to stimulate an economy the size of the United States. The federal government bailed out AIG, one company, for approximately $150 billion.
The second problem is ignoring the fact that small businesses are the engine of job creation...
