U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship Republicans

In a new regulation upending the 7(a) program, SBA ignored the lessons in fraud mitigation learned through the Paycheck Protection Program, especially the risks financial technology and unregulated lenders posed to government-backed loans.

The SBA is now giving these risky lenders unlimited access to a key SBA program, along with reducing protections for American taxpayers.

Reports show that one of these risky lenders, Funding Circle, has an ACTIVE investment from China!

Did SBA know it was giving a company partially owned by the CCP access to U.S. taxpayer-funded loans?

Based on the SBA’s recent track record, Ranking Member Senator Joni Ernst says she has ZERO confidence in the agency to do proper due diligence to protect the 7(a) program from Chinese influence.

Americans feel like no matter how hard they work, and how hard they try to make the right decisions for their families, they just can’t win.

Despite the Biden administration’s spin, the "Bidenomics" economy is a nightmare for everyday Americans.

Since President Biden took office, inflation is up 18%; wages are stagnant; and, energy prices are up 30%, all while housing costs continue to soar.

Ranking Member Senator Joni Ernst: Iowa is home to more than 272,000 because of hard-working entrepreneurs.
