“These are challenging times for our country, yet throughout our history, America has risen to every challenge. Today is no different. I thank our President, Donald Trump, for his strong leadership during this crisis. I don't like everything in this bill. While we kept out dangerous provisions like union bailouts, the Green New Deal, and dangerous election schemes, it still has items I don't agree with. And I worry about the price tag. However, families, hospitals, and small businesses need immediate relief. I am talking about a small business in Concord where the owner is doing his best but still had to furlough many of his 30 employees. He told me he can put most of his employees back on the payroll using the SBA 7(a) loan program in this bill. It is workers and small businesses like this one that are counting on this legislation. It is not perfect, but I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.”
