After 9/11, there was a GAO report issued in 2003 that indicated some of the metrics that the SBA used for determining disaster loan performance were not fully reflecting the program's actual performance.

SBA has stepped up to the task during these times of need.

Thank you for making that sacrifice.

If in fact the Democrat leadership continues the pattern of the last Congress, and that is to block and obstruct the agenda, then that's a legitimate charge to make.
