WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Arrington delivered the following speech on the House Floor in support of the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act:

“Madam Speaker – these resources are a lifeline to our fellow American’s whose lives and livelihoods have been turned upside down – by no fault of their own. They aren’t just numbers on some government spreadsheet,” said Arrington.

“They’re healthcare workers who rushed to the frontlines in this battle – risking their lives for our safety. They’re family farmers, independent energy producers, and small businesses of all kinds who listened to their leaders, did their part, made their sacrifices and stayed home, shuttered their businesses – all to keep their communities and country safe.”

“This temporary support will compensate them partly, but more importantly, help them get back on their feet so they can keep their employees on the payroll and off the unemployment roll.

“These folks are the heartbeat of America, they are the lifeblood of our economy and they – NOT the government – will lead one of the greatest American comebacks in our history.”

“Let’s suit up, strap it on, and get America back to work again.”
