Senate and Forbes.com Notice Small Business Stimulus Proposal from Montana Entrepreneur
Andrew Field of PrintingForLess.com takes action to help save America's small businesses
Livingston, MT - January 16, 2009 - Tired of the current economy's effect on his small business customers nationwide, Andrew Field, founder and president of PrintingForLess.com (PFL), www.printingforless.com, took action. Field developed a small business stimulus proposal and sent it to U.S. Senator Max Baucus, chair of the Senate Finance Committee. Senator Baucus was impressed. Andrew then shared the letter with several small business people around the country, most of whom also reacted favorably to it. Struck by its originality, Forbes.com featured the plan on its home page today, and published it at http://www.forbes.com/home/2009/01/16/small-business-loans-oped-cx_af_0116field.html.
"I wrote the proposal because many of America's 20 million small and medium businesses (SMBs) might not make it another 90 days, and something needs to be done fast," says Field. "Many of our SMB customers face a convergence of factors that most of us have never seen before, and it may drive many of them out of business, resulting in millions more job losses. SMBs don't have powerful lobbies, and their dire plight has not garnered any media or political attention. The current outline of the stimulus plan provides no meaningful help for America's SMB's, putting half of the nation's jobs at severe risk." Field's small business stimulus plan includes the following:
"Small businesses don't want a handout, we just want reasonable access to credit so that we can innovate, employ, and grow," says Field. "If something isn't done quickly, millions of people will be thrown out of work due to the failure of small businesses caught in the fallout from mismanagement on Wall Street and regulatory failure." There has been widespread support for the plan from people all across the political spectrum. "Tinkering with tired solutions like loan guarantee programs won't get the job done. The aid for Detroit was based upon job preservation. This plan would preserve more jobs, at little or no long-term cost to the government," says Field. "If you support this concept, let your voice be heard in Washington." About PrintingForLess.com PrintingForLess.com is the first commercial online printing company in the United States.
