Whose PPP Loan Is It, Anyway? | Full Frontal on TBS

Published on February 5, 2021

Trump’s Paycheck Protection Program was supposed to help small businesses stay afloat during the COVID-19 crisis, so naturally loans went to his friends and huge companies. We talked to Ashley Harrington of ResponsibleLending.org and the small business owners of 46 Mott, Fan Fan Donuts, Brown Butter, ConBody, and Kato Sake about the ramifications of that corruption.

    Law of attraction is key here. Police and lawyers are paid legal liarszzz. Are they ultimately increasing crime and injustice ?

    The real conspiracies are the GOP community aid programs.

    Why would you want personal training from offenders? I mean I understand not caring if they are but I don’t see why that would be a selling point of a business.

    PPP does not pay our rent, our gas or anything…. on top of that, if you where not open before February, you didn’t get anything (like me, I signed my lease on 3/1).

    Based on this, I think New York should be twinned with Glasgow, Scotland.

    It makes me so mad they won’t pass new packages to help Americans when they KNOW the small businesses didn’t get those loans and people are struggling!!!

    The banks being the middle man was the first HUGE mistake. The government should have given businesses loans DIRECTLY instead of letting banks pick their favorite customers.

    The quagmire of misinformation and red tape around the PPP program defies description, except perhaps a few million primal screams from everyone who needs it. The sickest part of the whole debacle is that’s our tax money going into the wrong pockets …. AGAIN! AAARGH!!

    So maybe instead of complicated red tape government programs, we should just be giving stimulus payments directly to people to spend as they need, including investments in small businesses to keep them afloat.

    Enough big government top down programs, more giving people the means to make those decisions for themselves in an emergency.

    So, it turned out as just yet another example of redlining.
