The end of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which sunsets on December 31, would be catastrophic for America’s 33 million small businesses—the backbone of the nation’s economy.

To empower the Small Business Administration to reinvent itself into this more muscular force for small businesses, it should be elevated to full department status and fully included in the president’s cabinet. Call it the Department of Main Street Commerce.

America’s 33 million small businesses are tuning into tonight’s presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump to see which candidate will better help their business survive and thrive.

The real problem is bad Democratic policies, not the person on the presidential ballot. Spin the wheel of Democrat replacements, and you’ll get the same policy prescriptions wherever you land.
