PPP loans were created in 2020. Within 1.5 years, over 80% of them have been forgiven, totaling $600+ billion. Student loans started around 1958-1965. 60+ years later & .6% of student loan debt has been forgiven. No one asked how we would pay for business loan forgiveness.

PPP loans were sold as being a bailout for small businesses, but more than 500 larger businesses got hundreds of millions in PPP loans & had them forgiven - many of those businesses are tied to billionaires or politicians. Another handout to the rich.

Idk who need me to hear this but, if @JoeBiden can’t get through a 2 hour debate he doesn’t need to be in charge of running the country for 4 years. 💁🏻‍♂️

Celebrating a socialist losing an election is right wing capitalist shit. @carterforva got legislation passed that saved lives & will continue to for years to come. Lee Carter showed us what accomplishments are possible when you elect grassroots socialists. Thank you, Lee 💜
