Washington has to become an ally of business, not the opposition of business.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The idea that the business world's needs get ignored in Washington is perpetuated by business so it can fulfill even more of its needs, real or imagined.
While Washington pays lip service to the challenges facing small businesses, it repeatedly chooses its own expansion over results. In effect, government has become a huge silent partner in all businesses, often taking a majority of the profits and forcing many unprofitable business decisions without the risk that it will be fired.
Washington is a place where politics and economics often aren't on speaking terms.
As American families and businesses have been forced to tighten their belts, Washington has refused to do the same.
The country has moved off track. The people in Washington don't have the hard-nosed business experience needed to get the economy up and running.
Small businesses all across this nation are tired of the uncertainty created by Washington.
Washington is politics! Somehow if people have political objectives, then those objectives are automatically disqualified? If that's the case, the Democrats have no business being legitimized about anything because everything they do is political.
People have no confidence that Washington, both sides of aisle, are coming together to try and do what's right for the economy.
The American formula for creating business is not to have the government create business.
In Washington, particularly, the loyal opposition has a job to be the opposition. But you can't stop there.
