    The PPP was just part of the bailouts as well. They did direct cash infusions into the richest companies, and the Fed did a lot to make sure the rich didn’t lose any money, and in effect shoveled trillions of dollars to the richest.

    The PPP was forgiven to big corporations that got the money then fired workers anyway, while small employers that kept people on after getting the money, as was the point of the program ostensibly, were forced to pay it back later.

    The Democrats are fucking worthless I’m afraid I’ve to throw in there. Can’t even make hay out of this, or change an unjust system, when they are hated and have to win.

      Were we talking about Democrats? Or did you just need to bring them up because you can’t abide a discussion that doesn’t criticize them as well?

        You can’t escape it, if you give the establishment a pass and allow them to stay in control of the party we lose. Unless you are pretending to be one of us and helping fascists to overthrow the Republic in all but name in favor of putting the worst people in permanent control of the country, you need to face that fact.
