- Invictus0 4y agoLol, as if the government has any idea of who it gave money to
- datalopers 4y agoThey've already lost most of it on cryptocurrencies, online gambling, and meme stocks
- ThunderSizzle 4y agoNot that fair, considering the US government closed down businesses during lockdowns. If the government did close anything in particular, I'd say the answer would be yes otherwise.
- ajmurmann 4y agoLike having kept the business loans they gave out as actual loans rather than forgiving them?
- goldenchrome 4y agoThey’ve been doing that every year already
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> will it be fair of US government to ask money back in small chunks from people who got it during Covid lock-downs? This is taxation. Raising taxes reduces inflation in the same way fiscal spending prods it.
- chordalkeyboard 4y agowell it only reduces inflation in aggregate if the money collected from taxation is destroyed and not spent.
- okwubodu 4y agoIt was their money in the first place.
- ryan93 4y agoDoesnt matter if it wasnt returned proportionally.
