[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people care so much? Nobody said a peep during the trump tax cuts, since is a drop in the buck compared to them. We came out like bandits from the trump cuts and then the PPP free money. (small business owners)

Let the peons have a small piece of cake. Bread and circus and all that. The republicans really need to shut up on TV about this.

At least the Biden White House is pointing out their hypocricy.  Today they retweeted a string of loan forgiveness criticism from Greene, Buchanan, Gaetz and others, the White House account replied to each with the large Paycheck Protection Program loan sums that those same politicians had had forgiven by the federal government, including $183,504 for Marjorie Taylor Greene Greene, $482,321 forMatt  Gaetz and $2.3 million for Vern Buchanan.  Now if you want to talk about stupid policies?  Giving out $800 bn in loans to businesses and giving a big chunk to Congresspeople even though other small businesses have greater needs.

Remember the part about government shutting down businesses and gatherings with law enforcement agencies arresting  those who disobeyed the directives?  The government literally forced businesses to close. The government did not force anyone to take out a loan for an art history degree.  [/quote]

This is not about people not being able to pay back loans because they did an "art history degree."  It's about people not being able to pay back loans because the cost of a higher education (which is increasingly necessary for stable employment) is prohibitively high in America, and a once in a century pandemic hit that affected employment and employment prospects.   I don't know why you're defending  $500,000-2.3 million being forgiven for the businesses of Jared Kushner, Matt Gaetz and Vern Buchanan who are already wealthy or had their stable government salaries, but begrudge the  average young person graduating with crippling debt a much smaller support.

What exactly makes you think that a good plumber doesn’t have “stable employment”?[/quote]
