PPP loans (Edit: stimulus checks totaled a little over $800 billion)
also the people who stole ppp loans thinks its unfair you or someone you know might benefit from having their education costs wiped away.
I agree with this in principle, in the sense that it's frustrating that people who complain endlessly about the stimulus checks seem to think the PPP loans were a necessity, and that's rank hypocrisy. But the phrasing of this statement is bullshit. The PPP loans totaled a little under $800 billion, while the stimulus checks totaled a little over $800 billion. So it was a lot more than "a few $600 checks".
I'm not going to fact check this number and I will just edit the title with it.
Just in case anyone comes along to question this.
