MONDAY'S BUSINESS AND FINANCE REPORT

US CHAMBER OF COMMERCE: State of American Small Business: Time to Seize Main Street’s Moment of Opportunity
There’s nothing small about small businesses’ contributions to the American economy. In recent decades, small companies have accounted for approximately two-thirds of new jobs, employed about half of the nation’s private-sector workforce, and delivered half of our nation’s economic output. They were instrumental in helping our country pull out of the recession and bounce back in recent years.

Four Decades of Court Battles and Counting
This month the U.S. Chamber Litigation Center marks 40 years of fighting for American business in the judicial system. Throughout its history, the center has earned a reputation as one of the business community’s most valuable lines of defense by challenging harmful regulations at the federal and state levels, filing amicus briefs to represent our views in important cases, helping advocates prepare for court arguments, and working to promote public understanding of key decisions and legal principles.

If Trump Takes Deregulation International, America’s Economy Will Prosper
The United States economy has significantly underperformed in recent years in very large part due to the Obama administration’s extraordinary capacity for imposing distorting and expensive new regulations on American businesses. Fortunately, in domestic policy President Trump has already proven an equally extraordinary capacity for undoing some of the worst of the regulatory excesses of his predecessor.
