Small/medium business owners in slightly affected industries got RICH last year.
Not to be that guy, but what if that was the real idea behind giving the loans? I have to confess that living in Wisconsin has left me jaded with respect to our leadership. The whole Foxconn experience still informs the way i look at new proposals from our leadership. It's become very difficult for me to believe that some of these politicians aren't fully aware of what they are doing and who they will be benefiting prior to taking the actions they champion.
They hold the poor hostage to their greed and the greed of their cronies. "Let me and my cronies take XX dollars or we won't give out a dime to those families that just got laid off." It's sickening.
I believe it was a side-effect rather than a cause. The PPP loan program did end up helping a lot of businesses, and to be fair, there wasn’t really time to pick and choose who gets what.
