President #JoeBiden assails the “stunning #hypocrisy “ of #Republicans for their rejection of his #StudentDebtRelief plan, while most of them sought and pocketed much larger #PPPloans for their own ‘small business’. 👉 https://www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-student-loans-ruling_n_649f08c0e4b0c7e9d8e726bb

What can we expect from self-proclaimed ‘#Christians ‘ who idolize the thrice-married, poly-bigoted, liar and multi-indicted charlatan who says ‘#TwoCorinthians ‘ is his favorite Bible chapter? 😂

Take a break from your outrage about #studentloanforgiveness and see how many businesses in your neighborhood had their #PPPloans forgiven. #studentloan forgiveness is tiny compared to the PPP loan forgiveness that you all had no problem with. #hypocrisy

New House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has vowed to use his position to investigate “waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement” in federal COVID loans. But if that’s the case, he might actually find himself looking into his own role in that program—as well as his brother’s. #ppploans #GOPcorruption #GOPhypocrisy #VoteOutRepubliCONS

(2/n) Garcia and Darity (2022) link: “We find that black business owners that did not report their race received $26,000 more in funding” [101% more than self-reported black biz owners]

“Black business owners that self-reported their race received 52% less in [#PPPloans] controlling for self-selection, loan-level characteristics, local demographics, zip code, industry, lender, [etc]”

No significant difference found for white self-reporting

From EquitableGrowth.org: “New research from Sandy Darity and Raffi Garcia finds that small businesses owned by Black entrepreneurs who chose not to disclose their race received 52% more loan funding than those who did disclose their race.” #economics #inequality #ppploans #econtwitter #racialequity #smallbusiness #blackmastodon

#JobCreatorsNetwork were some of the people behind getting the #StudentLoanRepayments struck down. I don’t have any student loans but I’m sure those that do feel the pinch! And guess what, at least some of the people involved got hefty #ppploans Sounds to me like it’s time to speak up to this network. They have a website, a YouTube channel, a Twitter account. Maybe let them know how you feel

Welp - officially got my #Studentloanforgiveness approved but it's held up in court 🙄 . It's so wild to me that I live in a country where the same republican politicians blocking this decision got a free ride. American execptioanlism indeed.
