    I know of one “small business” that got some and they already have millions..... i guess they really needed that couple hundred thousand... that whole program was made for fraud. What a joke.

    Well, I didn't get the PPP loan. They based the income on year 2019 when I was on medical leave. I was off work then for six months healing my dislocated ankle and fractures, and getting screws to keep everything together.So, I didn't get more than $2,000. Some got thousands. How fair is that?
    I got my authority in February, 2020. Just one month short of the Pandemic.
    I guess luck isn't on my side.

    I don't actually. I pay extra for fuel every month, extra $1200. That's around 15K more in a year. Other small businesses might not be impacted as much as us. And now, many are messed up with those current rates. They should give us credit for fuel.

    Seems when Covid stuff first started they were talking $25k
    But that went away probably when they realized we were all still working

    LOL

    Did you take the PPP loan? If you are so against it, then why did you apply? Good for you you are happy with current rates and fuel prices. You don't make the majority though.

    Billions again going to Ukraine. I guess it's okay to throw money elsewhere.

    I've spoken out here several times about the PPP Loans, stimulus checks, etc.

    No, no PPP loan for me, also have never received a stimulus check, even the first time.

    The times we're in right now, are just debt squaring up for the good times everyone had spending those trillions of dollars.

    As I've said before, Ray Charles saw this coming.

    How come you didn't get the stimulus check? Everyone was getting it. There was no choice. It came through the mail.

    No idea. Never got it from GW, Obama (did he give one out?), or Trump.

    Every one attempting to buy votes anyway.

    Time to settle up

    You will lose thousands taking SS at 62. You will also be limited to how much additional income you can make. As of now, taking SS at 67 is the sweet spot.
