WASHINGTON — More than 100 current and former top executives at major U.S. companies are calling on Congress to pass long-term relief for small businesses to ensure they survive the coronavirus pandemic.released Monday that was sent to top congressional leaders of both parties in the House and Senate, the CEOs and other executives warn of significant consequences to the economy if Congress doesn't immediately act to save small business.
"By Labor Day, we foresee a wave of permanent closures if the right steps are not taken soon," they wrote."Allowing small businesses to fail will turn temporary job losses into permanent ones. By year end, the domino effect of lost jobs — as well as the lost services and lost products that small businesses provide — could be catastrophic.
In addition to pushing for another round of short-term relief through the Paycheck Protection Program, they called on lawmakers to pass legislation similar to a measure proposed by Sens. Michael Bennet, D-Co., and Todd Young, R-Ind. Their bill would extend the period for the hardest-hit businesses that have seen their revenues decline by at least 25 percent to use their PPP funds and meet requirements for loan forgiveness.
Specifically, the company executives said in the letter that the legislation should include federally guaranteed loans"that will enable small businesses to transform and sustain themselves through 2020 and well into 2021." They said that this support"must last for longer than just the next two or three months."Stephanie Ruhle is an MSNBC anchor and senior business correspondent for NBC News.
