> those funds could have gone to individuals and the money would have found its way back into the economy just the same...only faster
how could this possibly be true? the economy started tanking because people stopped going out and spending money. giving people money wouldnt fix this.
i must be misunderstanding. surely you're not claiming that ordering people to stay inside and restricting building capacities didn't severely lower business revenue, are you?
> PPP didn't fix it did it?
i dont know why you said this. the PPP almost certainly fixed the short term problems created by a national quarantine. we're not out of the woods yet, but what do you think happened to all the money? you think hundreds of thousands of small business owners simultaneously committed fraud and didnt use the PPP for payroll? the PPP gave people money for rent, how did it not?
