This is not getting enough air time. All of the same MFs that cry about the Biden inflation were using PPP money to fuel luxury consumption and very few payroll amounts. Get them in jail.

hell fucking yes, keep going!!! All the scumbags that get enraged when kids get their predatory loans forgiven but were happy as hell to take PPP loans and have them forgiven

Are they going to charge all of those politicians who bitch about student loans forgiveness and their ppp loans were forgiven?

[-] BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social 7 points 5 months ago

PPP loans were meant to be forgiven so long as they were spent properly on payroll. So long as those politicians followed the rules of the loans, any hypocrisy on the side scummy, but not criminal.

Don’t forget:

$762 billion PPP loans were forgiven out of $793 billion . It was another subsidy for the wealthy as the working class falls further into debt. Socialism for the Rich

Meanwhile, they whine about Student Loans being forgiven.

The statute of limitations should absolutely be extended for this completely unprecedented event.
