Ask yourself why you’re carrying water for these people.
Hypocrisy goes great with Pepsi.
Seriously, this is just par for the course for Republicans. “Grace for me but not for thee.”
Oh, and I paid off all my loans. These people are a joke.
Can someone dig up the amount of $$$ that Grassley's farm operations has received from the USDA over the last decade?
TIA

Fvcking hypocrisy.
“Everyone’s a Republican until it happens to them.” - my parents
There’s some serious truth in this.
Fair to say PPP was a boondoggle giveaway of epic proportions.
Ben Shapiro in the tweet is an L.A. real estate agent not the political commentator.
Ben Shapiro co-owner of the Daily Wire who's wife is a doctor has a net worth of about 50 million dollars. Dude probably doesn't need a $20,000 ppp loan.

Parkersburg tornado was the end of my libertarianism. It was only like 6 months before that where I caucused for Ron Paul. Got on the Ron Paul train because I was sick of my cousins going to Iraq and Afghanistan, but couldn't bring that up at the caucus in my small town or people would think I was a pussy. Instead, when nobody at the caucus spoke up for Ron Paul, I decided I would try to lecture a room full of adults with mortgages about inflation. I'm embarrassed to this day of that moment.
Yeah, Vern Buchanan is the 6th wealthiest member of Congress, worth about $160 million. He probably didn't need a $3 million of free PPP money, but he damn sure was not going to pass on it.
He forgot to list all the Ds. Ron Wyden’s wife got $2.7m for example. They all should have to pay it back, especially Congress.
Just looked it up, the Pelosi’s also got millions, of course.

Paul Pelosi benefits big with PPP forgiveness, company won't repay millions
Paul Pelosi, the husband to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), is linked to a company that saw millions in loans forgiven through the Paycheck Protection Program.
A few things
1) PPP was passed by the Democrat controlled House 388-5. To use PPP as a “own” v Republicans is quite idiotic.
en.m.wikipedia.org
2) I’ve pointed out how big of a boondoggle PPP is and even created a thread about it…it was a very popular bipartisan boondoggle and was quite popular at the time it was passed.
iowa.forums.rivals.com
3. PPP loan forgiveness was built into the program
4. Comparing PPP that had massive bipartisan support and went through the proper legislative process and Bidens loan forgiveness that skipped the legislative process and was done by EO is ridiculous.
5. People taking student loans knew very well they were required to pay them back. Well until the administration decided to flaunt the constitution and and use the “Hero’s act” that was enacted post 9/11 to circumvent the constitution.
Amazing stuff….maybe Democracy is in peril if we have an executive branch brazenly sneering it’s nose at the constitution to buy some votes in November.

PPP "Biggest Fraud in a Generation"
Many who participated in what prosecutors are calling the largest fraud in U.S. history — the theft of hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money intended to help those harmed by the coronavirus pandemic — couldn’t resist purchasing luxury automobiles. Also mansions, private jet flights...

Opinion | Biden’s Tuition Gambit Could (And Should) End Up in Court
Biden’s order erasing student debt isn’t fair to people who didn’t go to college or people who paid off their loans already. But his order is more than unfair: It’s unconstitutional.

A lot of rich assholes got PPP loans. Pretty sure Tom Brady did too for whatever reason. Guessing he didn’t need to.

Nope.
Seems some of you have.
Power of the purse belongs to the legislature.
Take it from the Chairman of the House budget committee if not me.,,
First paragraph…powerful stuff
Congressional Power of the Purse Act
The Congressional Power of the Purse Act (CPP) will help Congress reclaim – and safeguard – its Constitutional power of the purse.
So you did. I mean that takes a special kind of slow and oblivious.Nope.

To sit there and talk about procedure and how many votes ppp got when nobody sid jack crap about any of that and everyone else is talking about the fact elected officials and notable conservatives are whining about not paying back loans while they also didn't pay back loans...well that's just amazing.
Excellent whataboutism happening here.
What about those of us that hated the PPP "loans", COVID handouts, AND now the student loan forgiveness garbage?

Loans that weren’t intended to be paid back in an act passed by congress. With massive Democratic Party support.
If you can point to where student loans weren’t intended to be paid back I’m willing to listen.
I wouldn’t be making this argument if this loan forgiveness had originated in congress and not Executive fiat…
As Chairman Yarmouth stated…
The constitution gave the power of the purse to congress. The founders believed that this separation of powers would protect against monarchy and provide an important check on the executive branch.
Bread and circuses….
Nope still haven't found that point. But hey you'll get there eventually.Loans that weren’t intended to be paid back in an act passed by congress. With massive Democratic Party support.

Riiight. So now people are in favor of PPP loans?
And stop calling it student loan forgiveness. It's a debt transfer from someone who CHOSE to take out a loan.
An individual earning 124.9k or a family earning 249.9k is CLEARLY is too poor to pay off their loans.
Everybody: So it seems Republicans are being hypocritical

You're not even missing the point now, you're rambling incoherently on some other topic.Loans that weren’t intended to be paid back in an act passed by congress. With massive Democratic Party support.

It’s actually the topic. The power of the purse lies in Congress…not the executive. It’s a core tenant of the constitution and our democracy. A vital check on the power of the executive branch…
The administration didn’t even go through the motions and try to go through Congress…went with an EO.
Not surprised you missed the point.
Count me in the group who think it's totally OK to take advantage of the handout and still admit it's a really bad move.
LOL. You just made my point for me. What the hell does any of this have to do with politicians who had government loans forgiven for themselves then bitching about government loans getting forgiven for regular joe schmoes?
