It's the same for me, and that is to just keep saying it over and over again.
Look, everyone's attention is on vaccines and ending some of the restrictions that have started across the country, as it should be, but just as there are horror stories from a health perspective, there are so many horror stories from an economic perspective for small business owners. Every single day I talk to a business owner who is right now in the process of losing their home because it was mortgaged to start the business. Every day I talk to a business owner who has bled their retirement savings to try to keep their business going.
Our initial evidence shows that government support programs, as positive as some of them are, are still covering less than half of the overall losses that most businesses are experiencing, and we're giving them a legacy of debt, removing their wealth.
We've just got to keep pushing to try to fix some of these gaps. There are lots of businesses that are getting help and I'm pleased with that, but so many others have not and the economic consequences are going to be with us for months and really decades to come.
