Rep. Gregory Meeks

They've not decreased.

They've increased, causing them problems.

the the instability and the uncertainty of the president's policies is causing and costing small businesses a lot of money they don't not know they can't you know get the right inventory they don't know how much to buy because how much is going to cost going up so as I speak to small businesses this administration's policies have been devastating to them and devastating to

the American consumer.

And so that's why I was glad to be able to work with some of our Republican colleagues on the Financial Services Committee so that we can do something for small businesses, get access, help them get access to capital, and for those individuals also who have 401ks or IRAs for helping them with their retirements.

And so we're trying to make sure that we are reaching to the small business and the

average everyday worker, like 62% of them who are invested in the markets.

So it's not just the super rich friends of the president that having benefits, but it is the working people of America.

And that's what we're trying to do there because clearly the president's policies are not working.
