		<description>Excellent! I am 100% agreeing with the panel, stimulas package must support small businesses which are struggling due to two major things credit crisis and riple effect of economy, for example comanies who are in technology fields and have a support system base in US but due to ecnomical reason, credit crunch and competition we may have to outsource our support, upto now we were trying to get a technical and phone support right here in US (Naperville IL) but we also needs to be remain in business we may have to outsource or get some help from goverment not a hand-out rather business or govement rule that any company getting benefit from stimulas package must do business (purchases) with a US company and US govt. must create simple process in short-term so comopanies like us can get gov. projects easily without going through massive hurdles.

Any business from govt. or public secort will benefit us and we will not only be ble to keep our employees but create more jobs in the local market.</description>
