    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.

      Which is why they are asking for more time for more reviews of pandemic spending.

      “Lawmakers and the White House are asking to extend the deadline to prosecute pandemic fraud and authorize inspectors general to continue their reviews of pandemic spending.”

      Perhaps they needed more time to find the yacht he bought with his PPP.

      This is still more than was done under the Trump administration and more than will be done if Trump gets in again.

      I’ll take my wins where I can.

      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.
