America's 28 million small businesses have been hit especially hard during this deep recession. H.R. 5297, the bipartisan Small Business Jobs Act, would do more to support them than any bill has in years. We're disappointed the Senate failed to pass it when it had the chance on Thursday, especially considering the broad support it has from local, state and national business groups. But we're hopeful that senators will focus on our struggling entrepreneurs rather than political gamesmanship, and, over the next couple of days, pass this crucial bill.
