hiest priority becse wn sml businesses are succeeng, erica succeeds. in ord for sma busisses to succeed,mu give them thts they need to gr. one of the tos is the ability to access capital. when g baco mainech week, i heft thea stories from busin owners acrosshe state. when the credit marketried up, theye hard. now that the economy has stard to make a recovery, are still unae to accs the credit ty need to expand, rere, and grow. aba ago iosted an evt on helping connect small busisses wh capital. the resp was owhelming. hundredsf small buness small business own showed up. so my we need an overflo roomo accommodate th mand there are businesses of all types and sizes and many h driven hours toome to the wosh they came to this ming because they felt they had nowhe else to turn. as a small bness owner myself, i know what a challenge

it can be to make edset when i srted my last business fore the credit cru i was fortate i had a small community bank to work with that gave m access toapitl i needo stt my busines t foranwho have tried to get the mone necessaro art, operate, and pand the business over the past fw years,t hsn bn s eas today have an opportunitto make credit labl to millions osmall businesses ro the cntry. toy we cn asshe leers who ow firsthand th erce those busnees make to a community. today we can make it ease your r companies get access to fincing at will help jobs ow, expand, and creat the congressiol service estimates that the instments made bythis bill will stimulate $ blion of nding to sll businses. small siness orsnd nkers ike have told me they think the bill's a good idea as the economrecovers it wl lpncrease lending by o cal financial instituions i

for ou naon. he also ide worked with successful entpreneurs who rvived the having difficult time re-establishing eir cred lis cessing moneyor growth evenhenhey have real profitablepportunities. the banksre not nearily ingnless yoha hard llatal ahey are shutting down crit l customers who pay theiills even on ti for example, over e past 17 years one small manufacturing company s grown fro a sole prrietorship to plin17 pele. they havborrowedoney to invest heavily i the mchiner and technogy nessary to produce a hi qualy prodt. but ashe economy stalled out theyerac a shortfal reipts andeeded to refince but had be struggli to he capit theyeed. theyre contuingo pride jobs a ship pucts all over operating costs of doing their business. ifhey had access to capital, th could also coin to ma innovativ ne dis.

's apparently escathe supporters' tention that we e already doingrecise what the propos new small business lending fund uldo fo the isting tarp capital rchase program. th's just not my conclusion that's toncsion othe tarp. pector general of he wrote to theinancial rvices committee on y 1 and observed ote, i terms

perspective. the combinedlean and econic costs of the gulfil ill are currently estimaed ound $17 billi. so in term of econom dmage th bill could actually cost more than cleaning u the entireess in the gulf. that'srue, small businesses are having greifficty geing loansso are ho buyers . why is that? publisector borrowing has crowded out the public pool th wou otherwise ve bn avaiable to make private sect loans to smal busine and homebuyerand consumers. under thisdministratiod this congrthe governnt isrunnina $1 trlion annual deficit. that'roughly $20,000 r every family four in america. ll, wre does that money co fro ll, we borrow . from wh dwe borw ? well, we borrow from the

same capital pl that wou otherwise have been availabl to loan to sll business and her emplors sking to add obs or loan to homebuyers seeking tre-ent the housing market or loanfor coumer purchases. remember 2/3 oeconic gwth depends upon the coumer purchas. but that monenow is n availaeo lone tomployers to expanthe onomy becaus ernment has now boowed it inrder to expand government. th is corof the proble now, i'd offer an amendment to rbid tsef tis tar 3 ney r a very simple reason. if the government borrows tha that same monen't be ess, availab to to another business. governmt cannot inject a single dollar into the econo until ihafirsken that same llar out of that same

and understand the importance of providing flexibilitto their employees. they have rightly revamped family leave pocies to attract and retain best works. employers understahat family-friendolicies not only help workers lance work and family, butlso improve loye' bottom line. tse polics increase retention tes, drease abseeism, ove pructivity and morale. what's good the modern mis od f busins. buinesses thatreoi right --oing the rht things toromote the better work-le balance should be recogned. it goes to the heart of our nation's compitiveness anhow alue o nation'sfami. paren should ner have to choose between theipaycheck d taking a day off becse their child needs to see a doctor. this is precisy buy i'm -- why i'm a strong supporter of the bill before us today, the work-lifealance ards ac thisill see for compies that wish to improve their currt appointments -- polies so they can be more accommodating tohe needs of their workers. it will also give perspective

idoesn't even add a pny to our defic. -- deficit. let me explthe provisio in h.r. 5486. fir oall,elating to busineto, smalbusiness stock, and capital gns, presently there's an exclusn of 75% becae of the recovery t, and imize at. would incasehe exclu to 100%. it provisreliefor small busefrom tax penalties when that is indeed appropriate. it also increases the deduction r starp c rxpenses notelated to catal or equipment. it increases it from5,000 to $20,00

so these are importan stuli f small biness,elp them createore jobs. to help them create more jo. as i said earlier,his is offset, you will not add a dime or indeed a nny to the federal deficit it cles two provions at have ady passed th house. one relates to what is ometimescalled a grandchild of black liquor, itelates -- relateso byproducd right w,his isot beg usedr abusednd what ts does, builng othe work we d in earlier lls to prevent people from receiving a wind fall from uninnded application of rewable f credi. the seconpartelat to what

are called grantor rtain annuity trusts. want to justay auick word outhis thisclearla loophole. this islearly an abuse. here's wt happens to try to put it in theimest ter a trt, a short-tm t is usuly cated by soone for hild then, the person who created the trust takesack thvalue, t's say, in a few nual payments system othere's giftaby the granto e way it rks toda all of the increase ithe lu of the stocs so outside of the gift tax. so essentiall what has happenehere is a paper transaction that lds to

escape of taxation. this pvides, in our billthat there has to be a 10-year term for the tst to be sure tha the ust h actl subsnce. this chage raises $5.297 what thimeans, breaking it about $500 billion per y at frompayers is lost today through paper transactions. we close the loophole. so again, because of this, there is not any addecost an als i might say so, will be discussing thi i guess toorrow, it ovides money for the small business lending package, h. 5297, so tat is

so budge neut th providese aitional important small loan help, all businesloan hp, so badly needed. it's hard to underand y ple would vo again ts. plus, a provision that is2 billi worth and it es to states and local gornments d they he writt us ur that we provide som so that they can flow of lns tomall businesses in theistat. so in a rd, we have bill, it's esseially a two-fo it providesistance, need assistance f job creation b small busine. anit pays f -- it'said so i ge very ch that

somehow the other side can cross the bridge and join together instead of creating obles a votfor this bill and thents partner. i rervehe balancef my time. the speaker prtempore: the gentleman serves. the gentlemafrom micgan. mr. camp: thank you, mr. speaker. i eld my sh time as i may consume. the spker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. camp: ask unanimous conse trevi a extend my remar the speaker pro tempore: wbjectionso ordered. mr. camp: this bill coains many positive featur a a meegative one,hus i reluctantly plan to oppose it. i'm plead to s it cludes some tax relief, albt limited, for small businesses, including isions ghimpede both republicans and democrs. i'm also pleased that unlike earlier versns oth

so i coend the gentleman r his worinhigard and the m.r. that we wl se a few momentbecain that m.t.r. st as reclaiming the invial liberty act, we recogze that the constitution prohibits the expansi of gornment authority in the are if we had t ability to do that , uldn'te have donit la year with gard to th au industry? could maate peopeo buy autobiles. we can't do it in ts area. and i mmend your work. mr. cai thank the ntlen for his coents ande mas a very important point and in osing, i just want to s we look at the sts th the individualandate i particlarly go to go hit hard on sll businesses d how icult that's going to make it f them toontito be able to expand and hire workers and know that the small is rtually a frau that 90% t smallusinesses wot ableo qualiffor that because is snarrowly draft.

the rhetoric of saying we are doing all these grt things, but the rty, there is nothing there. ae end of t 2010 when the indual income tax rates crease as wells onividends and capital gains, it's going to hit small business particularly hard because most small businessesile as iividuals ahas going to me ituch mo difficult for them to expand and make it much more difficult r them to hire and job creation tooccur. and alsowoulsa that another difficult problem is that tbill, while gerates $7 blion in tax venu it only provides about $3.5 billion in tax rie so again, taxes are being raised peantly for temporary spendin other parts of our ecomy. and it' undstanding that mo of that extraevenue will be used to help pay fo another tlike program, ta 3 as some call it, that going to be

coming our way. soagain with our unemployme rate contig to be at a lingeri 10%, the difficult of e all business, thengines of economic growth, the help y need, this bill n enou. agai it takes us down the roa of higher snding that o nationnot afford t is time and i yiback. thepeaker p tempore: the gentleman yields back th balance of his te. the gentleman from micgan. r. lev: i ask thatll members have fiveegislative da to revi and extend their res insert extneous material into threcord the eaker pro tempore: without objecon, so oered. mr. levin: anybody who has listenedto this debate if they e atll objectivel be completely puzed by the arguments of t minoty. they sais bill won't do anytngbut th tey y there are tax increases topay

for that permanent. at's wsehan a lame aent. it'scompletely whout merit anis vaccuous. the bill is sced in terms of smallusess catal gains ta almost $2 billion. th's nothing? it provides relief from penaies er $175 million sma business. thas nothing? it provides an increased eduction for startup expeitures that provides ov hf a bilon dollars scored that's noing? what nothing are yo

argumen. and so you come here, i think afraid to vote yesecause it ll blur your political message. yosayou age with these rovisions, but then you're going to vote no. u just't appant to be caught being bipartisan. it's going to blur apolitical message. i don't derstand your argument thae taprovisionsre u n't argue these loholes. they're loles, au cricize us r clos opho permantly and then yosay it's f spending, but ou don't really allenge the validity of the spending.

weo pay for some mons for the second bill that's coming p,ecause provides loans to small businesses d also pres stas thatav itten us supporting this bill, inuding your state, mr. camp, sayi that they'luse this moy well to help collateral upr so itworse puzzling. i think it'sathetic effort ind an excuse to vote no. sohen ye upith an argument at you have a motion to remmit -- he speaker p tpore: member are reminded tdirect their comments to the chair and not at oth members mr. vi i will be glad to do that, mr. speaker. so then it's said there is a motiono recommit t repl an
