Democrat lawmakers are SILENT as Pelosi REFUSES to pass funding for small businesses in crisis!
Nancy Pelosi showed off her basket of fancy chocolates this week at home in her mansion.
This is while tens of thousands of businesses are waiting for her to approve more funding to small businesses.
Pelosi is stalling.
Meanwhile a poll of restaurant and bar owners found that 80% of owners are not sure they will ever reopen after the government enforced shutdown of their businesses.
On Thursday the PPP Loan program ran out of money. Already $349 billion was handed out to struggling businesses.
At least 20,000 went unprocessed on Thursday and Friday.
Nancy Pelosi refuses to act.
All she would need to do is approve more funding for the program.
Businesses are waiting for crisis assistance.
Pelosi refuses to act.
And Democrat lawmakers are silent.
Only two or three Democrats have spoken out for more funding.
Businesses are dying thanks to Pelosi.
And Democrats think Pelosi is GREAT. That is about all that needs to be said.
Let me see if I have this right. pelosi is holding up funding for American small businesses. That’s fine, because she is working against the Eeeeevil Trump. At the same time, she’s floating the idea of impeaching the president, because he is withholding funds from the Chinese Communist Party, DBA the World Health Organization.
@Quartermaster: Yeah, what pissed them off about Ukraine was that Trump cut off that cash pipeline they were connected to where US aid went through corrupt companies and right back to them via their children.
The legislation was stalled because republicans balked at the inclusion of emergency funding for hospitals, and for COVID-19 testing.
Republicans have no problem with swiftly handing out forgivable loans of $20 million to high-end “small businesses” like Ruth’s Hospitality Group Inc. when the maximum allowed was only $10 million, but don’t seem especially concerned about the unavailability of loans to mom and pop operations that actually employ the bulk of America’s small business employees. They’re just the audience republicans pitch to with their tale that Democrats are standing between them and their assistance. Infusions of cash into America’s mom and pop operations aren’t immediately accompanied by a sudden gain in the value of someone’s share holdings in a particular corporation, of course.
Democrats were previously condemned by Republicans for delaying the first round of stimulus funding because they thought it was a good idea to have some third party that is politically independent of the Trump administration keeping a close eye on the cookie jar. They got their IG for that purpose, but Trump fired him and replaced him with a White House lawyer before the ink dried on the bill.
Figure it out, people. It doesn’t take a genius-level IQ.
@Greg:
They didn’t “balk” at anything. It was just that the money for PPP could have been increased with the stroke of a pen, but Democrats refused; they wanted to stall it. What SHOULD have happened is the PPP got increased before it ran out, then when everyone got back to Congress (the other needs were not dire or at risk of running out) the other funds could be worked out. I doubt anyone stands for denying hospitals the money they need.
The delay in increasing PPP funding was totally unnecessary and spiteful, showing just how little they care about PEOPLE.
The Dirty Democrats don’t give darn about Small Buisness Owners all they care about is opening our nations borders so they can lure illegal aliens here and have them vote them the Dirty Dirty Democrats into office their all traitors
CARES Act that provides $100 billion in relief funds to hospitals and other healthcare providers on the front lines of the coronavirus response. March 27th less than 1 month ago
Health and Human Services (HHS) began making payments totaling $30 billion to hospitals and other health care providers April 13th there is still 70 billion waiting to be spent and the curve is flattening.
Are future tax dollars burning a hole in Democrats purses?
How will the soon to be jobless workers pay for their insurance ?
@Deplorable Me, #5:
They want to have some assurances that the TRILLIONS stuffed into a cookie jar at the stroke of a pen will be going to where they’ll do the most good for the entire American population—not just to where they’ll remedy financial setbacks of the most affluent and powerful.
Double-dipping by a high-end hospitality industry corporation provides an example of why oversight is necessary. Trump’s immediate firing of the IG designated to do that and his replacement with a frickin’ White House lawyer is evidence that there’s a need for watchfulness. Congress has a duty to the American people to try to make that happen. There’s no legitimate reason why Republican lawmakers should not want that, too.
her new news name in ‘Nancy Antoinette’ and we all know what happened on Oct. 16, 1793. just a matter of time when history takes her’s
@Greg:
Incorrect.
@Greg:
So… hold millions of small businesses and employees hostage as their “leverage”. Yeah, that’s compassionate. No, your argument doesn’t work. Democrats are scum for this little power play. There is no reason for it.
@Deplorable Me:
Hehe….like when Obama did it? Yeah, we should make sure the money does the most good. Giving it to all the “po'” folk so they vote Democrat is not “the most good.”
Making sure businesses are open so they can hire and pay employees, is…
@Nathan Blue: Greg has his undies in a knot over Ruths hospitality A subsidiary, subsidiary company or daughter company is a company that is owned or controlled by another company the loans are not going to the same company or owner.
No understanding how franchises work, but point and sky scream.
What about that EAT diner franchise!
@kitt: You can tell when greg struggles to write…uh…well something. He doesn’t believe it, but is just trying to leave a “footprint” among those willfully disconnecting from CNN and the other lib media.
His point is to make sure his party’s memes spread, no matter what.
@Greg:
You mean like $25 million for the National Endowment of the Arts, $25 million for the National Endowment for the Humanities and $25 million for the Kennedy Center, the same Kennedy Center that immediately following the passage of the CARE Act laid off all it’s workers?
How many Americans will EVER set foot in any of those money hogs?
