Linda McMahon in Trump campaign vs. Trump administration
On Corporations:
SBA should respond quickly in emergencies
During her confirmation hearing, McMahon identified improving the SBA's disaster relief programs as her first priority. "Disasters don't pick a time. They happen. And we need to be prepared for those disasters. I don't know how effective they've been.
I know that when Sandy hit a few years ago, Hurricane Sandy --it was a delay in time of response from the SBA--we have to be ready for disaster relief. When our small businesses are put out of business for a while, the economy suffers," she said

On Corporations:
Businesses optimistic because Trump is cutting regulations
Linda McMahon, the Administrator of the Small Business Administration ascribed the optimism of small-business owners to what they see in Washington, as the president delivers on his promises of regulatory reform, cutting taxes and workforce
development. Entrepreneurs often say it's not a specific regulation but "the sheer volume of rules and mandates" that choke their businesses, she said. "Most small businesses don't have teams of lawyers or a compliance officer on staff."
The cost of complying with regulations to a small business is $11,700 per employee, she said.The main complaint from businesses, especially manufacturers, is they find themselves out of compliance because they aren't aware of the regulation
in question. "I'm all for the right kind of regulation. We clearly need regulation to run things safely and to do the things that we need to have oversight for," McMahon said.

On Jobs:
Integrated strategy for workforce skills development
As a result of the growth spurred by reduced regulation and the tax cuts, many businesses are having trouble finding workers with the skills they need, particularly people who work with their hands. That's why President Trump has made
workforce development a priority, SBA Administrator Linda McMahon said.In July, Trump signed an executive order establishing the President's National Council for the American Worker, which
McMahon said aims to create an integrated strategy to bring together employers, educational institutions and unions to develop apprenticeship programs and curricula
to provide students with the skills that employers need,. "Simply put, we need a workforce that is ready to work," she remarked.
