After running on the fake promise to support the small business economy, Trump and House Republicans have only prioritized delivering tax cuts for billionaires. As a result, small businesses across the country might not survive, and hundreds of thousands of Americans could lose their jobs. CNN reports:
“‘Everything is delayed or high-priced. The customer is screaming. It’s killing us,’ Modlin, owner of 3D Design and Manufacturing, told CNN in a phone interview.”
Mom-and-pop shops are under increasing pressure from a confluence of factors: tariffs, high interest rates, expensive health insurance and now surging energy costs.”
The small businesses that have long powered America’s economy have struggled to withstand the impacts of Republicans’ price-hiking tariffs.
During 2025 alone, small businesses with fewer than 10 employees were forced to cut a staggering 292,200 jobs — four times the jobs cut during the 2020 pandemic.
DCCC Spokesperson Bridget Gonzalez:
“This Republican administration is solely focused on lining the pockets of billionaires. They’ve put health care and essential services on the chopping block to make it happen, and it’s clear they’ll gladly sacrifice America’s small businesses too.” |
