Mitch McConnell: The Senate Is Not Going to Leave Small Businesses Behind

EXCERPT:

McCONNELL: “As we speak, Chairman Rubio, Senator Collins and others are assembling an historic level of assistance for small businesses across America. We want to help them survive this disruption, absorb the new mandate in the House bill, and continue to make payroll and avoid layoffs as much as they can, and emerge from this storm in the best shape possible. That means an historic injection of liquidity and access to credit, and it means Washington working directly with the lenders who already work with these small businesses to minimize the new bureaucracy so the assistance can flow as fast as possible. So we’re going to pass the House’s bill, but its imperfections will just make our more comprehensive package even more urgent. So we aren’t leaving. Everybody understands we aren’t leaving until we deliver it. The Senate is not going to leave small business behind. This will be just one component of our work.”
