Lots of people are blaming Trump for the abuse of those back in 2020. Let's not forget Congress played a role here (where Dems controlled the House). They passed the spending bill here. Meaning they are also responsible here. Congress controls the purse. They set the rules. Also, let's not forget that businesses were forced shut down and everyone was crying that they were going to lose their business. If the government had spent the time to vet all these loans, there is no way they would have actually gotten the money out the door. There was a known calculus at the time that there would be fraud. But many businesses were in a rough spot and needed money.
