- robhunter 6y agoWhy would there be outrage? There is $130b+ in PPP remaining for small businesses and it's incredibly easy to apply now.
- freehunter 6y agoWhy would there be outrage at the government handing billions of taxpayer dollars to people who are already billionaires while only giving $1200 to everyone else? My guess is because the government is handing billions of dollars to people who are already billionaires while only giving $1200 to everyone else.
- contravariant 6y agoWhile that could possibly be true, it's worth noting that the database this thread is about can't really help support that claim as it exclusively contains data for loans over $150k (which might still cover some smallish businesses, but definitely not the smallest).
- balls187 6y agoTrue. My comment was based on prior reporting on PPP funding problems, not based on the recently released names.
