This will save small businesses from a $120 billion surprise tax bill by allowing for full expense deductibility on forgiven PPP loans. Businesses have suffered enough throughout this pandemic and this fix is a much-needed step towards getting them back on their feet.

Last night, Congress delivered a huge win for small businesses by passing my bill, H.R. 6821, the Small Business Expense Protection Act, as part of the COVID relief package.

Congress must ensure these businesses are not saddled with a surprise tax bill they cannot afford.

Yesterday,@RepFletcher, @RepDrewFerguson and I sent a letter with over 170 of our House colleagues to Leadership asking that they make forgiven PPP funds completely tax free. The PPP has been an essential lifeline for small businesses struggling to keep their doors open.

The Most Favored Nation executive order is the last thing we need in the fight against COVID-19. Government price controls serve only to disincentivize the development of innovative treatments and cut access to vital drugs that hundreds of thousands of Americans depend on daily.

The PPP has broad bipartisan support. It provides food assistance, assists schools re-opening, and helps stop the spread of Covid-19. Speaker Pelosi is only interested in politics as usual. We should be helping Americans in need by extending the PPP -- not playing politics.

Compelling argument on WTO by @LiamFox consistent with my Senate Resolution. The WTO has historically been among the world’s most important international organizations, but right now it is in dire need of reform. #jobs

.@LiamFox’s vision for the @WTO will ensure the organisation works for everyone through practical changes and recommitment to the principles of free trade and comparative advantage.
"We need both practical changes in the @wto itself & the recommitment to the principles of #freetrade & comparative advantage which have seen us help take more than 1 billion people out of extreme poverty in the last generation" @CapX #LiamFoxForWTO
