Pelosi is Bad for Business

Last Friday, Nancy Pelosi told the media that Democrats would pass major health care legislation this year; something she promised in 2009 as well. Then she described how the bill is a principal means by which the Democratic Leadership in Washington plans to get the economy back on track.

Within the proposed health care legislation, there is a stimulus measure allowing the federal government to invest billions of taxpayers’ dollars in medical research. Pelosi told New York Times writer David M. Herszenhorn that your money will be used “for investments in basic biomedical research, research with the power to cure, research paid for by the taxpayer, the benefits of which should be available to every person in America.”

Taking money out of your pockets and putting it in the hands of medical researchers—that is how Nancy Pelosi plans to create jobs in San Francisco.

According to the PhRMA, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, U.S. drug companies spent $39.4 billion on research and development in 2005, alone.

Don’t let Nancy Pelosi take another one of your dollars and put it in the hands of major corporations! Not only does excessive government spending hurt your monthly checkbooks but it also hurt our nation’s future economic health and long-term prosperity.

As a successful entrepreneur, Dana knows that investing in small businesses will create jobs and lead the American economic recovery. She knows what it is like to balance a budget and make tough decisions when it comes to cutting costs. Dana will provide the kind leadership that benefits small businesses and boosts the bottom line.

With Pelosi in charge, San Franciscans & all Americans will continue to experience excessive tax burdens and out of control government spending. The kind of leadership that will ruin healthcare reform and is just downright bad business.
