Alex Pires on Jobs

 


Jobs come from small businesses; they need bank credit

Pires said the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform is not the answer to the country's economic woes. "Simpson-Bowles is a good idea, but it hasn't gone anywhere," he said. "Jobs come from small businesses. They don't come from the top, they come from the bottom." Pires said credit is key to the success of small businesses, which are suffering because of big banks. As a board member of Community Bank, Pires said he has lent more than $200,000 to small businesses.
