    We should sue the government because of all the tax cuts for the rich if this is how conservatives feel the need to act

        Most PPP loans didn’t even save any jobs

        Went directly into the business owners pocket to buy swimming pools, boats & exotic cars.

        Using similar logic we should be able to use for that. It’s a load of bullshit. The government is constantly giving money directly to rich people, but God forbid we do the same thing for regular people.

        The difference is that the PPP loans were designed to be partially or fully forgiven. They were given out to stop businesses from going under thanks to COVID lockdowns/border closures/etc. They were never meant to be paid back. They should never have used the term “loan” for them, as clearly doing so made a lot of people think that they were in any way equivalent to a student loan.
