U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., the chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, requested U.S. Attorney General William Barr to conduct an immediate review into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s participation in the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).


quote:

Conduct a full investigation into how 37 Planned Parenthood affiliates applied for and improperly received a total of $80 million in loans from the PPP. On May 19, Rubio said “[t]here is no ambiguity in the legislation that passed or public record around its passage that organizations such as Planned Parenthood, whose parent organization has close to half a billion dollars in assets, is not eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program.”


LINK

PPP was supposed to be limited to small companies with < 500 employees. Planned Parenthood employs over 16,000 and still received $80MM for 37 of its affiliates. Marco is spearheading the fight into investigating this corruption and will stop the senseless murder of innocent children. Mark his words.

Wait you mean to tell me that a government run program involving billions of dollars was completely unorganized and mismanaged? I am shocked, absolutely shocked!

Someone had to buy all of that Ice cream for Fanshy Nanshy. She wasn’t going to spend her own money on it.

$80 million in loans

That’s gruesome, and I find it repugnant in every way possible.

Been awhile since i've seen you post an adoration thread for little Marco. While i agree with the PP stuff, making him out to be "the savior" while posting a times magazine picture from 2013 is very disingenuous.

He's an open borders/amnesty guy because he listened to McCain and Miss Lindsey.

This type of thing happened because the SBA and Fed were very loose in defining aggregation as it applied to very large businesses with multiple autonomous locations. The lines were very gray and the rules of PPP were changing constantly as it was rolled out. This is the Fed/SBA’s own fault.

In PPP money or direct funding?

Airlines are pretty obvious. We rely on airlines. In order to be available after the shutdown they need to spend huge sums of money operating and maintaining their aircraft regardless of demand. It would not be a good thing for commerce if these companies had to shut down due to lack of passengers during the pandemic.

Cruise lines are a little more difficult to explain, particularly because the majority of them are not based in the US. They are also not crucial to commerce. On the other hand, O&G is and that sector did not get any direct funding that I’m aware of.

This x 100. There are dozens of companies that if you aggregated, would have over the employee limit, but the organizations actually has multiple separate subsidiaries that are each under the limit.
Great example is hotels. Because of liability issues, almost every hotel property will have a separate corporation/LLC. Thus, a hotelier with a ton of employees will still get PPP loans because each individual property will make a separate application.

This is a problem of the legislation, and may not be a violation.
