“This is going to be a great week for America. It’s going to be a great week for small businesses.

You know, small businesses represent 99  percent of our businesses in America. 50 percent of the payroll, 50 percent of the workforce is generated by Main Street America. The American Dream is living large right now. I will tell you what’s ahead for us.

We got a great partnership between Senator Ernst and I and Administrator Loeffler. We’re working very closely together with the SBA, which is within the purview of the Small Business Committee. When you look at the opportunities that are out there for small businesses, small businesses are ready for the Trump Tax Cuts.

When you talk about Trump Tax Cuts, you talk about less regulations, you talk about 100 percent expensing. Unbelievable opportunities ahead for Main Street America. We will celebrate that this week.

One of the things we have already done with Administrator Loeffler, Senator Ernst and myself, we have filed to raise the 5-million-dollar loan max on manufacturing to 10 million dollars. This is big. This is a big thing because now, people can expand their business. They can get started in business. They can stay in business. So, we've got a lot of great things happening.

We should all be proud to live in this country, but we also have the greatest economy in the world. It’s going to get nothing but better, and the American Dream is living and breathing as we speak, right now. It’s an honor to be the Chair of the Small Business Committee and work with these people behind me. God bless.”
