Where Do the Candidates Stand on Small Business Issues?

The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (SBE Council) has waded through the plans and positions of presidential candidates Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama to develop a comparative listing of where they stand on key small business issues. The document can be found on the SBE Council website on the news page: http://www.sbecouncil.org/news/display.cfm?ID=2840

SBE Council has read through the plans of the two candidates on their campaign websites, and has followed campaign announcements. The grid is an easy to read “bulleted” format that lists the candidates’ positions.

Of course, we look forward to updating the key issue grid on a regular basis, and welcome input and information from the campaigns and the general public. We hope to be adding new information soon on telecommunications policy and government spending and reform. In addition, SBE Council will closely monitor issues and specific position that may emerge from the party conventions and on the campaign trail.

Issues covered include: taxes, health care, global market access/trade, workplace regulation and reform, energy and the environment, immigration, fiscal policy and reforms, government programs and other initiatives.
