To the Editor:
The American Small Business League is concerned that the Obama administration is doing nothing of major significance to aid our country’s 27 million small businesses, or to create jobs.
In August, we conducted an analysis of the government’s small-business contracting data for the fiscal year 2008. We found 60 large corporations in the top 100 recipients of small-business contracts. Also, scores of Fortune 500 firms were counted toward the government’s goal.
As a senator in February 2008, Barack Obama said it was time to end these abuses, yet he has not taken any action to honor his words.
President Obama should support H.R. 2568, the Fairness and Transparency in Contracting Act of 2009. It would redirect approximately $100 billion a year in federal infrastructure spending back to the middle-class economy, saving thousands of businesses and countless jobs.
