1m 53s
Linda McMahon, head of the Small Business Administration, discusses her time as a member of the Trump cabinet, noting that her first order of business is helping with the destruction caused by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. McMahon notes that she has approved $268 million in loans for hurricane relief for victims affected by the storms.
We talk tax reform and how both small business owners and the middle class stand to benefit from a President Trump tax plan. And how optimistic is McMahon that tax cuts will in fact go where they're intended, given some concerns that the majority of cuts may be given to the wealthy? McMahon notes that she is very confident the President will follow through on his word of approving a plan that benefits middle class and small business-owning Americans.
We also speak with her about the U.S. workforce and about how far we have to go in educating skilled workers so that young people are prepared to take on some of the skill-based work in the U.S.
