re: Someone brief me on why big churches got ppp loans

The goal was to keep people employed thereby allowing businesses to use payroll money to survive with less/little revenue.

All that likely applies to churches too. That some churches may or may not have needed it and took it anyway is a fair point just as it is for businesses, and perhaps more so because of the ethic that churches should practice.

But I don't think there is any overarching reason why churches should have been exempt from PPP. Given that their revenue streams are charitable in nature and it was a period of pretty major uncertainty, one would think they'd be in jeopardy of having to stop paying employees, particularly if they were shut down by the government and said employees had no real work to do.

Because the Democrats were buying votes with your tax dollars. It's as simple as that.


Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't the original PPP bill fully bipartisan and bicameral and signed by an R?

Passed by Ds and Rs and initially signed by an R and extended by a D.

It was the costs of government shutting down business.

It’s amazing the folks who applied and got it.

….and non profit conservation organizations.

It was a joke the way they have “money” away.
