Except it isn't.
PPP loans were offered as a stopgap measure to stem unemployment during a pandemic. Most people just pocketed the money because they weren't actually doing that badly. I could have taken one and didn't and I regret it now, but that's water under the bridge. It's just funny that all of the opportunists out there who are crying about student loans had no problem taking many multiples worth of PPP loans to line their pockets.
The comparison between a student loan and consumer debt at the end of that article though? Utter braindeadedness.
- bcassedy 4y agoI feel like so much of the sentiment boils down to some people objecting to someone else benefiting from government spending and some other people having suffered so they think everyone else should suffer too.
