I own a food-manufacturing business with more than 200 employees that was recently awarded a $3.4 million loan through the Small Business Administration. From what I’ve observed, the Paycheck Protection Program is completely flawed and will function as a handout to companies that don’t need it. Billions of misspent dollars will never be paid back.
As a maker of food products sold in grocery stores, my business hasn’t yet been negatively affected by the Covid-19 crisis, unlike many other industries. We are an “essential service...
opinion I'm sorry, I must be missing something. Pete Vegas applied for & got a $3.4 million PPPloan he didn't need, that would have helped thousands of companies like mine who desperately need $10,000, & now he's writing abt how corrupt others are for doing the same? Put it back then

opinion I was forgiven for all of that, everything, so im not even worried about anyone else's opinion
opinion Kind of late to the party on this one
opinion It's why it ran out.. in minutes! PPP

opinion The author of this Op-Ed applied for and took a loan even though he doesn’t need it and then wonders why other businesses couldn’t get loans? What a POS
opinion You mean financially healthy and morally corrupt.
opinion Oversight would have been nice!
