Absolutely I do.

  What about the PPP loans every company took and used it to pay the owners while laying off/firing their workforce, was that not a handout?

    Forgiven loans are surely also a handout, although… the whole point of how the forgiveness was structured was to prevent people from firing or laying off their workers. So I think your comment is based on a false premise.

      Not even close when people were opening businesses just to get them, or fluffing theur payroll to get the max. They also just had to use X% for payroll, didn't say how much to whom, so you can just imagine how that panned out. Incidentally you can look up what businesses have taken in loans.[1] [1] https://www.federalpay.org/paycheck-protection-program/ https://www.federalpay.org/paycheck-protection-program/ edit to add- a lot of business owners including my own father took the max possible even though he didn't need it one bit, as not doing so was 'leaving money on the table'
