Could Bernie Sanders be the best small business president?
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders make the case for why theyd be the best President for small business. Sanders, in particular, makes an interesting argument.
Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders, a self-described Democratic socialist, says that he has long pushed policies that help small businesses, encourage entrepreneurship, and foster innovation. Sanders supported the Small Business Jobs Act, which created a $30 billion lending fund designed to spur smaller banks to make loans and increased the limits on the amount that companies could borrow under SBA lending programs. Sanders believes that the government has not done enough to support growing companies.
He believes the U.S. has long been a world leader in entrepreneurship and innovation, which in turn are the engines that drive our economy and supports increasing access to education and training, and reforming the way we bring workers into the U.S. in order to ensure that they are not being exploited to meet the needs of businesses who want to attract and retain the most talented foreign workers."

OP
The article doesn't answer the question. It's basically a summary of all the candidates positions.

However, it is funny to see the Revolution selectively embracing the corporate media.

(12,655 posts)7. the fact that they asked the question at all
and presented his business friendly policy without snide commentary says a lot.
thanks for kicking the thread!
Ron Green
(9,823 posts)8. Yes. To give only one example, decoupling health coverage from employment
in a universal system would relieve entrepreneurs, start-ups and all small businesses of the burden of dealing with the patchwork of group plans and price shopping, and let them focus on their goods and services.
To give only one example.
