Small Business boss lady Kelly Loeffler isn’t here to play games. She just rolled out a new bill with some big names in Congress that’s all about one thing: helping small businesses kickstart American manufacturing again and stop relying on countries like China.
The bill’s called the Made in America Manufacturing Finance Act. Loeffler teamed up with Senators Joni Ernst, Chris Coons, and Rep. Roger Williams to push it forward. The big idea? Double the loan cap from $5 million to $10 million for small manufacturers so they can actually afford to grow and compete.
Today, I joined @RepRWilliams and @SenJoniErnst to unveil new legislation that will double our loan limits for small manufacturers.

“It’s totally bipartisan,” Loeffler told Breitbart News. “Everyone loves small businesses — they’re the heartbeat of America.”
She’s not wrong. Whether it’s a family-run machine shop in Pittsburgh or a tech parts maker in Little Rock, most small manufacturers are struggling to get the cash they need to keep up with today’s tech and inflation. That’s why these outdated $5 million loan limits had to go.
And guess what? These SBA loans don’t even put a dent in taxpayer pockets — they’re backed by local lenders in a public-private setup that works smarter, not harder.
“Manufacturing’s ready to pop off,” Loeffler said. “Especially once Trump’s tax cuts are made permanent. More capital + lower taxes = boom time.”
She says the Trump economy is laying the groundwork for a major comeback — and the SBA is leading the charge, helping local lenders help American makers rise again.
Breitbart’s economics editor agrees, saying the Trump Economy 2.0 doesn’t need Congress to get rolling — though locking in tax cuts would help make the comeback stick.
Loeffler’s been all over the country talking to governors, lenders, and local leaders, and says there’s a real buzz about bringing production back to Main Street — thanks to what she calls Liberation Day, when Trump started cutting us loose from the Chinese Communist Party.
“Whether it’s Peoria or Pittsburgh, people are ready to make things in America again,” she said. “It’s happening now. Anyone who tries to block this bill is basically saying they’re cool with shipping our jobs overseas.”
But SBA isn’t just about handing out money — it’s also helping small businesses get connected with other American companies, figure out how to reshore manufacturing, and actually grow for real.
“The money helps, but so does the know-how,” Loeffler said. “We’re helping small shops sign bigger contracts, buy the right equipment, and finally hire the people they need to scale up.”
In the end, it’s about freedom — economic independence, job growth, and making America stronger one small business at a time.
“We’re not gonna be stuck begging China for parts,” Loeffler said. “We’re taking back control, lifting up Main Street, and making sure no community gets left behind.”
