Forgiven PPP Loans= paid for by taxpayers Student Loan Forgiveness = paid for by taxpayers

If student loan forgiveness is a handout, then so are PPP loans. It doesn't matter how you try to twist things.

It is laughable that anyone who took out a PPP loan/"government handout" and had it forgiven has the audacity to whine and complain about student loan forgiveness/"government handout". Taxpayers are footing the bill for both.

But I'm betting that the student loan forgiveness program will have oversight so there is not the same rampant fraud that occurred with the PPP.

Dumb take. If they didn’t shut down businesses then PPP loans never would have existed.

Yes, we were worried that the almost million dollars MGT got "forgiven" to keep her businesses open even though she was already triple dipping before we even get into loans. Disgusting.

Can you show me the part of the PPP loans which specified that someone like her was not entitled to it so I can be outraged about it? Don’t like it? Then don’t pass it.

Oh sorry I thought by small and medium sized businesses you meant those who don't triple dip into tax payers money for every possible event, and then only pay the tax payers back when caught. Thanks for teaching me.

Don’t like it then don’t pass it. Otherwise don’t cry about it when a business owner legally uses a government programmed as designed. If you believe she’s doing something illegal then you should let the IRS know.

Ah thanks, I'll use my whole states worth of empty ballots I have around the house to sway the voting, or how about this, I just donate more than the big oil guys. Seems right, right? Hey man, you got life figured out, write a book for goodness sakes.

Don’t like the PPP loans? Then don’t lock down businesses. Don’t lock down entire industries. Don’t blame taxpayers for using government programs as they were designed.
