White House Pursues Job Creation With New Online Initiative

The White House announced Friday that they will be establishing a new online initiative aimed at easing small businesses’ access to government resources.

Entitled “BusinessUSA,” the proposed site will “disseminate core information regarding the Federal Government’s programs and services relevant to small businesses and exporters” as it’s first step.

The site was established via Presidential memorandum as part of the administration’s new strategy of sidestepping Congress by utilizing the authority of the Executive branch.

“With too many families struggling and too many businesses fighting to keep their doors open, we can’t wait for Congress to take action,” Obama said in a statement.

According to the language of the memorandum, the online platform will be up in 90 days.
