$300B lending fund for small business; plus $12B tax cut

A: In the short term we must get credit flowing again to small business, because they've been shut out of the credit markets since this recession happened, and they create 2/3 of all new jobs. That's part of why it's so critical that we pass a small business and jobs bill, which cuts taxes by $12 billion for small businesses and creates a small business lending fund to support up to $300 billion in new lending. Also, we need to create an economic climate to discourage the movement of jobs overseas, encourage innovation across the board, and transform our public education system into one that prepares students for higher education so that our kids can take advantage of the jobs of the future.
