I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for his insightful remarks, and I appreciate him quantifying that this is a $420 billion hit to small businesses. His comment about working harder and making less, we understand the pandemic caused a lot of dislocation, but we should be past that now. We should be helping businesses get back on their feet, not kicking their feet out from underneath them and adding to the uncertainty with additional rules and regulations. I am excited now to have one of the newest members of our conference, Congresswoman Young Kim from California, who is the ranking member of the Small Business Subcommittee on Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Workforce Development. She herself has been a small businesswoman in the past, and I look forward to her insightful remarks. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Kim).
