The fight to bring American manufacturing back home just got a powerful boost. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Kelly Loeffler, alongside Republican and Democrat lawmakers, unveiled new legislation this week that could transform Main Street businesses across the country. It’s called the Made in America Manufacturing Finance Act, and it’s exactly the kind of commonsense, pro-America policy that resonates with those who believe in economic independence and the promise of hard work.
This new bill would double the loan limits for key SBA loan programs—from $5 million to $10 million—for small manufacturers. That means more equipment, more workers, and more American-made goods. As Loeffler put it, “We’re bringing back our economic independence and progress. Prosperity. We’re not going to be dependent on the Chinese Communist Party.”
In her conversation with Breitbart News, Loeffler said this legislation is about more than economics—it’s about American strength and security. “There’s nothing more bipartisan than small businesses. They power our local communities and innovation,” she said. Indeed, 99% of U.S. manufacturers qualify as small businesses, and many are eager to grow—but have been held back by outdated loan limits set decades ago.
With inflation, automation, and rising costs, it’s clear those limits no longer match the modern demands of running a business. This bill, Loeffler explained, finally brings small businesses the resources they’ve been asking for.
“We’ve heard both from lenders and our manufacturers… that they need more capital.”
These loans are a smart use of government support—funded not by taxpayers, but through a public-private partnership that’s self-sustaining. Local lenders provide the loans, and the SBA backs them up, giving businesses the confidence to invest, expand, and hire.
The legislation also fits perfectly with President Trump’s broader economic vision. Loeffler pointed out that this loan expansion will work hand-in-hand with the Trump tax cuts—especially if they’re made permanent.
“That’s going to allow them to hire, expand and invest much more quickly… I really think manufacturing is spring-loaded.”
As Breitbart’s economics editor John Carney noted last fall, pro-growth reforms like these don’t always need congressional approval—but they can be supercharged when Congress locks them in for the long haul. If passed, this bill would give small manufacturers the confidence to plan, grow, and compete globally—right from the heart of America.

Loeffler has spent the last few months traveling across the country, meeting with governors and economic development teams, listening to small business owners and local lenders. One clear message keeps coming up: the desire to break away from dependency on China.
“That is thanks to President Trump’s Liberation Day, which freed us from being completely dependent on the Chinese Communist Party and returned that to Main Street.”
She highlighted how this return to self-reliance is already in motion—in towns like Peoria, Pittsburgh, and Little Rock. It’s about empowering small manufacturers who supply everything from semiconductors to auto parts. These businesses are essential to America’s supply chain security—and they’re finally getting the tools to grow.
Beyond loans, the SBA is expanding its support. Loeffler explained that her agency also offers guidance and connections to help manufacturers reshore production or expand in the U.S.
“We’re working on connecting small businesses with local manufacturers… so when a manufacturer is trying to onshore or expand their supply chain, we’re providing that information.”
She emphasized that access to capital could be the difference between a small machine shop landing a major subcontract—or missing out entirely. With this bill, those same businesses can finally afford the equipment and workers they need to take the next step.
In the end, this legislation is about more than money—it’s about restoring the American Dream. It’s about creating good-paying jobs, building things right here at home, and regaining control of our economic future.
“We’re becoming energy dominant again,” Loeffler said proudly. “We’re really elevating Main Streets. We’re making sure that our communities—rural, urban—aren’t left behind.”
This bill could be a turning point. But it’ll take support from lawmakers—and from everyday Americans who know we’re stronger when we build things here. If the Made in America Manufacturing Finance Act passes, we could see a true revival of American industry, powered by small businesses and guided by the spirit of self-reliance.
