Two million dollars is only small when you're talking about Washington, D.C.

The sooner we rein in the red tape factory in Washington, D.C., the sooner small businesses can get back to creating jobs and helping more Americans find an honest day's work.

Stimulus spending, permanent bailouts, government takeovers, and federal mandates have all failed our nation. America's employers are afraid to invest in an economy racked with uncertainty over what Washington's next set of rules, regulations, mandates, and tax hikes will look like.

We've been talking about turning the corner for years. And we're starting to see that.

If the market is now 250,000 (on payrolls) and people are talking even higher and that's what comes in, then there may be no reaction. Markets do focus on this one number far too heavily however and they will jump in either direction if the number comes in outside of expectations.

When you look at Washington, it's really not that big. And its economy is completely dependent on those two companies. When they're doing well, the whole state does all right, but when they're down, there's nothing to fall back on.
