obama is going to give approx. $500 to small business owners, that will help. i know when i had a christian bookstore, from '94-06, my phone bill was more than the residential rates, so were the electric bills. shipping for products cost more, which i couldn't pass on to my customers and still have people coming in the door. taking credit cards cost more to support customer payment convience. finally the internet and walmart took away the majority of my customer base by selling the same products often times for less than i could get it from my suppliers. people think you make a killing owning your own biz. i had a profit margin between 35-40% and then i had to pay my bills and reinvest for new product. obama has no clue, what a small business contends with to stay open.
on another topic that supposed $13 per week we are supposed to be getting back in our check isn't true in our household. my wife's net pay jumped a whomping $5 net and my check was $0. my disability check from social security i got a cost of living adjustment of $47 net after my medicare premium jumped up accordinly. in previous years i got $6 increase per month for 3-4 years, one year it was $20 then back to $6. this year $47.
