Zitat des Tages von Sam Graves:
There are over 20 federal agencies that provide some, or all, of the steps in the export process.

We must secure our borders and restore the rule of law, and more than anyone running, Ted Cruz has fought to make this nation secure while protecting our constitutional rights.
Competition is a powerful and essential part of this nation's economy and vital to cutting government costs.
I do not like toll roads. Taxpayers are already paying for those roads through their gas taxes, and then to turn around and tell them they need to pay more to drive on the roads, I don't like it.
Administrator McCarthy and the EPA will soon find out that Washington bureaucrats are becoming far too aggressive in attacking our way of life. Administrator McCarthy should be apologizing to Missourians. EPA aggression has reached an all-time high, and now it must be stopped.
The RFA requires federal agencies to assess the economic impact of their regulations on small firms, and if significant, consider less burdensome alternatives. Federal agencies sometimes fail to comply at all, or simply 'check the box,' fulfilling the letter of the law, while missing the purpose of the law entirely.
Many small businesses rely on small financial institutions, like credit unions and community banks, to meet their capital requirements. Without them, these small businesses would have to close their doors.
As threats emerge - from ISIS to Russia to the Iranian nuclear program - we need a president with the resolve to defend our country and not back down.
Trade agreements are important because they open up new marketplaces to small businesses, which ultimately translates into more jobs and greater economic growth.
The mismanagement of the Small Business Health Options program is very frustrating.
It is key that Kansas Citians make the call as to what kind of airport they want.
The federal government has invested billions in Metro, yet the system is not safe and is not reliable.

By and large, small companies don't want to settle for part-time employees over full-time positions.
Time and time again, small businesses testify before the Committee on Small Business that they simply want the government to 'get out of the way.'
The SBA should be redirected to focus on its core missions of capital access, contracting, and counseling, while reducing duplication, overlap, and wasteful spending. Doing so will greatly improve its ability to better advocate for small businesses.
When I pick my subcommittee chairmen, I look for people that understand what it's like to run successful businesses, who know what it's like to sign the front of the check instead of the back of the check: somebody that gets it.
Small businesses all across this nation are tired of the uncertainty created by Washington.
I have personally seen Ted Cruz stand up and fight on the issues that matter the most to conservatives, even when it wasn't popular in Congress.
It's important for Republicans to nominate someone who not only has a vision of how to create jobs, but who has done it. That's why I am endorsing Texas Governor Rick Perry for President.
This is the people's money, and we need to use it on their priorities. Increasing the pay of members of Congress is not their priority.
Small companies need capital to invest, expand, and create jobs. And the economy needs a healthy small business community to bolster and sustain its recovery.
I want to take a close look at the SBA to see what works, what doesn't, what is duplicative, and what isn't even being utilized. We'll focus on what they do well and strengthen those areas.
When the EPA says that property owners, farmers, and livestock producers must stomach higher costs, longer delays, and bigger headaches, it's up to Congress to put up a roadblock.
We must get government out of the way and help foster an environment where small businesses are free to grow and create jobs.

A long-lasting and sustained recovery will never be achieved through massive government spending programs.
The federal government has gone too far on many nonessential regulations that are harming small businesses. Employers are rightly concerned about the costs of these regulations - so they stop hiring, stop spending, and start saving for a bill from the federal government.
I have heard firsthand from several small business owners about their struggle to borrow and their fear of taking on additional debt.
I'm not in favor of any amnesty whatsoever.
I worry about whether SBA programs are still doing what they are meant to do - support lenders who fund good business startups and good expansion plans.
Despite overwhelming support for the United States to adopt English as its official language, we have still not taken that important step.
Congress can protect small businesses by providing effective oversight over SBA policies and make sure they take into account the needs of small businesses while also protecting taxpayer dollars. Congress also needs to make sure that new banking regulations do not make it more costly for community banks to lend to small businesses.
There is no doubt that the majority of Kansas Citians are happy with their three-terminal airport. I will advocate in Washington for our city to keep its unique airport as long as we want it.
Kansas City is one of the most convenient airports in the nation.
The best thing we can do to help small-business owners succeed is cut spending.
