Ask Biden. Weren't the PPP loans forgiven during HIS administration?
We know the only reason you're bringing this up, is because you want to blame Trump for everything, and wanting to compare Trump
and Republicans wanting people to pay back their student loans.
Guess what, dumb ass?
"The Small Business Administration (SBA) gave out $669 billion in 2020 and another $800 billion in 2021." - MarketRealist.com
WHO was President in 2021?
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was established during the Trump administration, but IT CONTINUED TO OPERATE INTO THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION. By the end of the program, approximately $800 billion in PPP loans had been distributed, with SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS
STILL BEING PROCESSED under new verification rules IMPLEMENTED BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION.
> loans that never got paid back
"Never"?
Some Companies Are Paying Back PPP Loans When They Could Be Forgiven - NPR

PPP loans kept people employed and businesses opened.
Forgiving all student loans would do more harm than good.
This shouldn't even BE an issue. Biden and Dumbocrats only floated the idea of student loan forgiveness, to BUY votes. It was
stupid to even be brought up.
Why should we let people shirk their responsibility to pay back loans? PPP "loans" were no different than just GIVING people
money, which Democrat Presidents and administrations have done.
Don't lay all this on Trump.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was
a punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people
in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
