So your boss was able to pay his payroll (Payroll Protection Program) which included your wages. At least you still got a paycheck while numerous ridiculous “mandates” were put on his business. Instead of complaining, you should be grateful. Or I guess he should have just shut his doors, sent you to the breadline, and walked away like your government wanted.

Which is why there is forgiveness in the republican student loan bill…it’s dead beats just when the dems are doing it
So your boss is a dick. Quit. Find a new job. The company was with the same morals before they took out the grant. Yep, some bad apples out there. There were also businesses that shut their doors, lost everything, and that grant was the only way to pay their employees enough to live while they found another job. If that even existed. Uncertainty was a real thing. Funny how fast everybody has forgotten the hardships that your government imposed upon all of us. Glad you faired well. Still not a valid comparison to the student loan debacle.
And it wasn’t your choice. It was forced upon you with Mandates. Nobody mandated anything out of the student loan borrowers
Nobody is knocking people who actually needed ppp.
Nobody??? It’s being compared to student loan forgiveness.
All lawsuits I found were from those people that didn't get their loans forgiven. Send me a link if you find the opposite, I would be curious to see the rationale. In the end, that is what most of this is about - someone getting a benefit that another person didn't get and they feel ass-hurt by it.
Not justifying anything. Bad ideas were layered on each other in that window, but the comparison is valid.
Obviously, college isn't work in your eyes. More like a beach vacation I presume.
No, it is called unemployment. The loans were conditional on the company not laying anyone off, hence the name Paycheck Protection Program. Obviously some didn't follow the rules. It was a dumb idea, but mostly dumb in giving it to businesses and not directly to employees. I'm all for the Government clawing it back, but good luck.
Wasn't complaining..
Reminds me of the time we were hosting some girls from a college choir who were performing at our church. One of them complimented our home, and said, this is just the kind of house I want. I said, oh, what are you majoring in? Opera, she said.
What could go wrong?

You have an interesting way of spinning things out. The point was that when you buy something, like an education, you should pay for it. Pay for what you owe. If you take out a loan for anything you are liable to pay it off. How the hell you come up with your off the wall beach vacation is beyond me. Are you one of the guys who thinks they are entitled to have a loan forgiven? Because of why? When you BUY an education you are obligated to pay for it
You are focused on the conditions surrounding the exchange of money, and I am focused on the intended result. The US loans money for college because an educated workforce benefits society. They earn more, pay more taxes, and generally create a more stable populace. The US loans money (through SBA) to small businesses for generally the same reason. It benefits society. They employee people, pay taxes, provide a service, etc. The main difference ? Typically about 15-20% of SBA loans default. The paid-in-full percentage is horrendous at around 50%. As you may know, you can't default on a student loan without a court saying it creates an undue hardship.
Improper use is called fraud, which is illegal. Unemployment programs are run by states, but the vast majority of the money is federal. To answer the question, maybe. If you want to lock down inflation, have a special one-time tax to recoup some of that money. In the interest of full disclosure, I didn't get any of those checks so I can have a WGAF attitude toward it. But collecting money from people without any money is difficult.
