Small business owners employ 80% of the employees in America. I don't think this recovery is going to be quick for several reasons.

1. Banks are still not lending to small businesses, even if when their credit is good.
2. Banks aren't lending even if the business has cash in the same bank equal to the amount of the loan request.
3. Small business owners are waiting until they see what the new health care plan will cost. If it adds more than 1-2% to payroll costs, business owners cannot hire and may not even be able to give raises.
