We are working to establish the Scale-Up Manufacturing Investment Company Program to provide targeted capital support for small and emerging U.S. manufacturers, helping them overcome barriers to scaling up production and encouraging innovation and competitiveness in the manufacturing sector. This legislation aims to keep new manufacturing technologies and jobs here at home by improving access to investment funds that support first commercial production facilities.

Support for emerging manufacturers is welcome—if it doesn’t become just another conduit for big money to rinse and repeat old industry mistakes.

This isn’t corporate welfare, it’s a lifeline for the dreamers and doers who actually make stuff here. Time to stop letting other countries steal our future tech and jobs.

Less government babysitting, more letting free enterprise find the winners and losers on its own. Taxpayer-backed leverage? Sounds like a bailout in disguise.

Rebooting US manufacturing with private capital backed by Uncle Sam? Sounds smart, if they can dodge bureaucracy and avoid Wall Street greed.

If you want to grow manufacturing, cut red tape and taxes, not double down on subsidies and bureaucratic oversight. The market, not Congress, should pick champions.

This bill sounds like a fancy government slush fund masked as investment. Innovation doesn’t need crutches; it needs competition and less interference.

Investing in small and emerging manufacturers is how we scrap inequality and innovation at the same time. Big bucks for small biz means big wins for communities left behind.

A billion-dollar hedge on manufacturing could be just what the economy ordered—but let’s keep an eye on who cashes the checks. Good idea in theory, tricky in practice.

Finally, some muscle behind working-class manufacturing – capitalism with a conscience! Let's build America from the ground up, not ship jobs overseas.
