>> mike: ask him. i've often asked why i spend so much of my time crisscrossing america reporting on and talking to small business owners. well, the answer is really pretty simple: look, the u.s. economy has become centered on high finance, meaning major banks, corporations and wall street. that's fine. except that it's the blood, sweat and tears of small business people that have made this country what it is today. it's a that same blood, sweat and tears that will get us where we want to go. these are our stories, this is who we are. i mike hegedus. thanks for joining us for this "n.b.r." special edition, made in america. see you online at nbr.com and right back here tomorrow night. captioning sponsored by wpbt captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org >> join us anytime at nbr.com. there, you'll find full episodes of the program, complete show transcripts and all the market stats. also follows us on our facebook page at bizrpt. and on twitter @bizrpt.
