正如白宫的欺诈账目显示的那样，小型企业管理局（SBA）揭露的欺诈行为比任何其他机构都多。通过副总统JD·万斯的消除欺诈工作组，特朗普政府正以历史性的速度清除浪费、欺诈和滥用行为。
As the White House's Fraud Ledger shows, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has uncovered more fraud than any other agency. Through Vice President JD Vance's Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, the Trump administration is eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse at historic rates.
当新冠疫情迫使全国停摆时，小企业主们竭尽全力维持营业。他们耗尽了积蓄，发不出工资，并努力将员工保留在薪资名单上。
When COVID shut down the country, small business owners did everything they could to keep their doors open. They drained their savings, skipped paychecks, and fought to keep employees on the payroll.
正当小企业为生存而战时，骗子们从旨在维持其生计的项目中盗取了数十亿美元。拜登-哈里斯政府有数年时间来追究骗子的责任，但它从未这样做过。在共和党领导下，那个时代已经结束了。
While small businesses were fighting to survive, fraudsters stole billions from programs meant to keep them afloat. The Biden-Harris administration had years to hold fraudsters accountable. It never did. Under Republican leadership, that era is over.
白宫推出追踪数十亿美元疑似欺诈资金的互动地图 上个月，小型企业管理局局长凯利·洛夫勒与副总统万斯一同站在密苏里州堪萨斯城，宣布暂停87万名借款人的资格，这些人与估计39亿美元的疑似疫情欺诈有关，这是该机构历史上同类最大规模的行动。
WHITE HOUSE LAUNCHES INTERACTIVE MAP TRACKING BILLIONS IN SUSPECTED FRAUD Last month, SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler stood with Vice President Vance in Kansas City, Missouri, and announced the suspension of 870,000 borrowers linked to an estimated $39 billion in suspected pandemic fraud, the largest action of its kind in the agency's history.
作为众议院小型企业委员会主席，我一直与洛夫勒局长密切合作，以追回这笔资金，并确保商业街不会被置之不理。骗子拿走的每一美元，都是家族企业未得到的一美元。
As chairman of the House Committee on Small Business, I've worked closely with Administrator Loeffler to go after this money and ensure Main Street isn't left high and dry. Every dollar a fraudster took was a dollar a family business didn't get.
拜登-哈里斯时期的小型企业管理局明知新冠欺诈猖獗，却仍然未能采取行动。2023年，小型企业管理局的督察长办公室估计，可能有超过2000亿美元的疫情贷款落入了骗子手中。该机构当时的领导层则声称实际数字接近36亿美元。
The Biden-Harris SBA knew COVID fraud was rampant and still failed to act. In 2023, the SBA’s Office of Inspector General estimated that more than $200 billion in pandemic loans may have gone to fraudsters. Agency leadership at the time stated the actual number was closer to $36 billion.
当我们的委员会要求时任小型企业管理局局长伊莎贝拉·古斯曼解释这164亿美元的差距时，她拒绝作证。因此，我们继续深入挖掘。
When our Committee asked then-SBA Administrator Isabella Guzman to explain the $164 billion difference, she refused to testify. So, we kept digging.
白宫在国会推动具有“分水岭”意义的打击欺诈改革，万斯召集工作组 我们的委员会花了一8个月时间调查疫情贷款项目。我们发现的情况极其令人不安。拜登领导的小型企业管理局不仅没有修复自身失效的管控机制，反而将矛头指向与其合作的私人放贷机构。它甚至曾考虑停止催收10万美元以下、价值约11亿美元的欺诈贷款，因为它不想显得在强迫借款人。不幸的是，疫情贷款并不是全部。
WHITE HOUSE PUSHES 'WATERSHED' FRAUD-FIGHTING REFORM IN CONGRESS AS VANCE CONVENES TASK FORCE Our Committee spent 18 months investigating the pandemic loan programs. What we found was deeply disturbing. Rather than fixing its own broken controls, Biden's SBA pointed fingers at the private lenders it worked with. It even floated ending collections on fraudulent loans under $100,000, valued at about $11 billion, because it didn't want to appear to be strong-arming borrowers. Unfortunately, pandemic loans aren't the whole story.
看看8(a)项目就知道了，该项目旨在帮助弱势小企业竞标联邦合同。只有当这些公司自己完成工作时，它才有效。转包计划（即中标公司将工作转交给其他人）欺骗了该项目旨在帮助的企业。
Just look at the 8(a) program, which helps disadvantaged small businesses compete for federal contracts. It only works if those firms do the work themselves. Pass-through schemes, in which the winning firm hands the job off to someone else, cheat the very businesses the program was meant to help.
为了控制欺诈性支出，洛夫勒局长做了近50年来没有人做过的事：她对整个项目进行了审计。当数百家公司拒绝交出财务记录时，她采取行动将他们驱逐出去。小型企业管理局还堵住了允许以儿童和死者名义发放贷款的漏洞，其中一些死者在记录中的年龄甚至超过了115岁。
In an effort to rein in fraudulent spending, Administrator Loeffler did something nobody had done in nearly 50 years: she audited the entire program. When hundreds of firms refused to hand over their financial records, she moved to kick them out. The SBA has also closed loopholes that let loans be issued in the names of children and the deceased, some of whom are listed as being older than 115.
众议院共和党人从一开始就协助领导了这场复苏，并确保这些改革得以坚持。6月份，众议院通过了我的《新冠欺诈透明度法案》，该法案要求小型企业管理局的督察长向国会按季度报告新冠贷款欺诈情况。我的委员会还推进了务实的防范欺诈法案，其中包括众议员丹·梅瑟（共和党-宾夕法尼亚州）的《小型企业贷款欺诈预防法案》以及我的跨党派《让美国实行佣金制法案》。
House Republicans have helped lead this recovery from the start, and are ensuring these reforms stick. In June, the House passed my COVID Fraud Transparency Act, which requires the SBA's inspector general to report quarterly to Congress on COVID loan fraud. My Committee also advanced pragmatic anti-fraud bills, including Rep. Dan Meuser's (R-Pa.) Small Business Lending Fraud Prevention Act and my bipartisan Put America on Commission Act.
我的职业生涯一直在汽车行业度过，我知道支付佣金能带来成果。我的法案《让美国实行佣金制法案》将奖励提供关于疫情贷款欺诈的可信线索的美国人，资金来源由被定罪的骗子支付的罚款提供。
I've spent my career in the car business, and I know that paying commissions delivers results. My bill, the Put America on Commission Act, would reward Americans who come forward with credible tips about pandemic loan fraud, funded by penalties paid by convicted fraudsters.
当我成为主席时，我曾说过我们不会将这笔钱一笔勾销。民主党人花四年时间忽视这种欺诈行为，并准备免除数十亿美元。众议院共和党人将与洛夫勒局长和万斯副总统一起，继续追查此事，以便下次夫妻店需要帮助时，他们不必排在骗子后面。
When I became chairman, I said we would not write this money off. Democrats spent four years ignoring this fraud and were ready to forgive billions of dollars. House Republicans, alongside Administrator Loeffler and Vice President Vance, will continue pursuing it so that the next time mom-and-pop shops need help, they won't have to stand in line behind fraudsters.
