The PPP news cycle has been totally back-asswards.

The business loan program was too small, everybody knew it, and a hunger-games scramble for money ensued. Then the money ran out (duh) and we blamed ... the companies getting loans to avoid mass layoffs during a plague! https://twitter.com/business/status/1252901476617392129

It's like designing a breadline to only serve one-third of the city and then naming-and-shaming the people at the front of the line.

"Can you believe Jill got bread? Jill! She told me her family had dinner four nights ago. Those kind of people don't even need bread!"

And please don't ask me to defend every. single. employer. that. got. a. loan. The possibility of opportunistic and unethical actors has to be factored into crisis-era legislation. That's why you want the SMB program to be HUGE—to withstand malfeasance and still have $ left over.
