Discussion · Senate
Todd Young Republican
“I support this bill because it stops fraud and makes sure taxpayer money is spent carefully. It includes my plan to help small businesses instead of fraudsters.”
“Mr. President, I rise today as the son of a small business owner. I rise as someone who has seen how hard an entrepreneur must work to get an idea off the ground, to build a business, to keep it solvent, and to work year after year through ups and downs, to make sure one can put enough food on the table for one’s family and all of one’s employees’ families. And I rise today in support of Senator Ernst’s Protecting American Taxpayers Act. You see, as chair of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship--a committee on which I proudly serve--Senator Ernst has really been relentlessly focused on and has been a tireless advocate for combating fraud and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly--responsibly. So I want to thank Senator Ernst for her good work on this important legislation and for her ongoing efforts to shine a spotlight on waste, fraud, and abuse. I am especially proud that in this package is found my Assisting Small Businesses Not Fraudsters Act.”
