second, both the nfib and the sba office of advocacy concluded that the department's flexibility analyst grossly underestimates the cost of the rule to small business. i was personally shocked by the department's lowball estimate of the amount of time business will need to spend to comply with the rule. i would never tell my client my employer clients who spend so little time on compliance. third the cost to small businesses will be even higher if the department decides to automatically increase the salary levels every year or to make changes to the duties tests. finally, increasing the salary level to 54,040 or even the 47,000 that politico recently reported will not result in giving america a raise. employees are unlikely to see higher paychecks. the small business owners i have talked to cannot afford to give a salary increase or pay overtime. so they must adjust in other ways, demoting management to hourly workers, requiring them to clock in and out, closely monitoring the hours they work, decreasing the flexibility to take time off for family without losses in pay, taking away bonus

what did he sba theay about thi?er trump movement trying to find a possible third party candidate. mark cuban tells me thanks but no thanks. he spoke to the "washington post" about this, and i followed up with him last night. he said as a third party candidate, it is too late. he thinks it would have been fun to run against donald trump. think about it. they're similar in some ways. brash billionaires, reality tv stars, expert at social media and neither have elected office experience. people have talked about cuban running for president before. there has been buzz in the past. he said he might think about t he thinks he would crush trump. but right now, it is not the right time. he says it is too late for a third party candidate. that's what a lot of political experts would say as well. it is not realistic. nobody would have a chance. michael bloomberg decided he didn't have a chance. the call to mark cuban shows how conservative leaders would really like to find an alternative. >> maybe an early look at him for fut

for example, we have a longstanding government entity called the small business administration, the sba. here's the idea: in the united states-- it's been going on for decades-- small business complained that there wasn't a level playing field. when they competed with big businesses, they had disadvantages. and they wanted to have a better shot at succeeding as a small business, so they wanted the government to set aside money and support to help small businesses--not available to big ones--to help them compete more success... and we have that. the small business administration gives grants, makes loans at a subsidized rate to help small-- the idea being, america's better off if it has more small businesses than would otherwise be the case. we do the same thing with minority-owned businesses for the obvious reason. here's a thought: a worker's self-directed business administration. why? because the american government would like to see these kinds of enterprises develop and grow. and why that? here's a democratic thought for you: if the government supported that, helped to develop coope
