If you just stay with what you are designed to do, small business guys like me can survive.

My main concern with this legislation is that it would only consider the costs of regulations and not the benefits for small businesses.

We have to listen to them. And I appreciate Representative Van Duyne for bringing this up.

my main concern with FinCEN's additional beneficial ownership reporting requirements is the immense burden these increased requirements will have on small businesses

This bill will improve coordination, outreach, and utilization of resources to better reach small businesses in need of support.

I urge my colleagues to support this bill.

I urge you all to join me in voting yes on H.R. 3995, the Small Business Regulatory Reduction Act.

I oppose this amendment on the same grounds as the previous amendment relating to veteran-owned small businesses.

This legislation would simply require the inspector general to report updated information on his ongoing fraud investigations to Congress on a quarterly basis.

I urge Members to vote yes on this important legislation.

we need to give small businesses the opportunity to learn the rules of the road

The American people need accountability and transparency, and if a small business accounts receivable were as high as the SBA's, they would take all action possible to get this money back.

To the taxpayers, $100,000 is still a lot of money. So just to ignore it is another problem.

We should also all agree to resource it to the level that the administration has asked.

You would think that a report from a nonpartisan watchdog claiming hundreds of billions of dollars were disbursed to criminals through the SBA would warrant her showing up to this Committee today, but that obviously isn't the case for…

I am so glad we did because if you look at our economy right now, the highest GDP ever, the best-- the lowest inflation now in the entire G7 universe, the lowest unemployment in my lifetime.

So we must get an accurate picture of what money was obtained illegally so we can bring the criminals who took advantage of taxpayers to justice and get money back to the Treasury Department.

Thank you for holding this hearing. Thank you for making the notifications on time within the rules.

I would just argue that it might not be wise to reduce funding to the IRS when we need to go after both fraudsters and tax cheats.

They are concerned about the SEC's push to implement costly environmental, social, and political regulatory requirements.

Due to a personal family matter, I was unable to be in D.C. and vote today. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 289. personal explanation

Due to a personal family matter, I was unable to be in D.C. and vote today. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 285 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 286. ____________________

It is critical that we understand that slashing agency budgets prevents public servants from doing their jobs and serving our constituents.

This is a hard time for small business. And the Section 1071 rule is an attack on Main Street America.

Do you think it eases it?
