if we want to help small businesses recover, we cannot--I repeat--cannot be increasing taxes.

the Biden administration has proposed tax hikes to pay for the American Families Plan, to advance the left's climate and social agenda, which will ultimately be financed on the backs of small business.

Adding another entity of government with even more control over their lives would be counterproductive, in my opinion, and in the opinion of many Americans.

The problem is I think this is based on the false assumption that the government would do a better job of handling consumer data and credit reports than the private sector does.

If you think that is a good solution, look at the Veterans Administration right now and how well they service our veterans with the backlog that they have.

In the end, the private sector will get it done better. The government will pick winners and losers.

This belief that the Federal Government can somehow run a credit reporting agency more effectively and efficiently than the private sector is garbage.

Not only will you force consumers to hand over all their data to the Federal Government, but it will also remove all incentives for the private sector to innovate.

We are in a period right now where the approval and trust of government is at an all-time low.

I think that is a ridiculous solution to a problem.

I think we need to focus on providing real hard information about how much this is going to cost and when are small businesses going to need it.
