The state of the economy is not the issue when it comes to growing a business. The relevant questions are always: 'What business are you in? Furthermore, is it adapting to the times?'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Our economy is creating jobs and giving businesses the conditions they need to invest and succeed.
As I continue to believe that innovation and entrepreneurship are the key drivers to our economic future, it's frustrating to hear such little cogent discussion around it.
We see entrepreneurship and small businesses and supply chains as a critical part of the economic growth and competitiveness agenda.
Small businesses are really the engine in the economy.
Business is one of the most powerful institutions on Earth for creating wealth and opportunity and helping to lift people out of poverty. When you think about it that way, then business is not separate from development policy.
Listen, I think what's best for the economy and to create jobs is to extend all of the current tax rates - for all Americans. It - it begins to reduce the uncertainty. And for small businesspeople, they can look up and begin to plan.
Small businesses are vital contributors to our economy. They are the economic engine that is creating jobs, exploring innovation, and expanding opportunities for Americans in every community across the Nation.
If we truly want to achieve lasting economic growth, we need our businesses to do more business - and we need them to do it in America.
If you're going to grow the economy, if people are going to have more income, you have to have stability in the marketplace.
Business is a subset of the environment, not the other way around. You can't have a healthy economy, you can't have a healthy anything in a degraded environment.
