When I was starting a business, I turned to one for help. Now I provide SBDCs with free information they can give to their clients to help them succeed in business. That's how much I believe in the program. I recently heard Jack Kemp say the tax proposal shouldn't cut programs that make the government money. Well, if he's right, then we certainly shouldn't be reducing the allocation to the SBDC program.
Nobody likes big-government bureaucracies.
But this isn't one. Nobody likes government waste. Nobody likes government bureaucrats. But SBDC counselors aren't bureaucrats, and they're some of the most dedicated, hard-working people I've ever met. It's a very little bit of money for a whole lot of help for small business.
