Rep. Williams to Fed Chair Yellen: ‘Small business is hurting’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Roger Williams (R-Texas), a small business owner and member of the Financial Services Committee, questioned Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen about the impact of federal regulations on community institutions during a committee hearing on monetary policy and the state of the economy.

"I can tell you small business is hurting," said Williams. "Main Street America is hurting. And it's hurting because regulations, which you have talked about today, are literally choking the heart out of small businesses."
