Lawmakers in Congress Press for Changes in Small Business Aid Program

WASHINGTON—The federal government’s $670 billion program to aid small businesses will come under a spotlight when Congress rolls back into action, with many lawmakers planning to target what they say are shortcomings in the program.

Proposals include extending the number of weeks that small businesses can spend money from the government’s forgivable loans under the Paycheck Protection Program, and allowing businesses to use more of the funds for overhead costs.

Opening up Oregon businesses would be a good start.

It has to be something in the writing that the billionaires got 282 billion richer while over 30 million people lost their jobs. Something ain't right fix that asap. People standing in lines long as I-95 to feed their families. They getting fat and people are struggling bad.

They will look at everything except their loosely structure bill.

Question: what happens to businesses that take out loans but reopen before the loan is fully used? Do they have to return the money? Is anyone even tracking?

Why is I so fucking hard for yall to just pass UBI

Why don't you do something about getting back to work.

Shortcomings ? Mental and physical shortcomings, absolutely. trump will block his crooked dealings all the way.

The shortcomings consist of more money for individual politician's projects, so that they have something to say to get reelected

Where is Congress ? Why haven't been in Washington ?

How can they target the entire democrat party? Seems like a big task

JPMorgan says its coronavirus relief loans were mostly small in amount and for tiny companiesA replenishment in the heavily criticized Paycheck Protection Program resulted in a firehose of small business lending from JPMorgan Chase, the financial institution said '🎶 Another day older and-a deeper in debt 🎶' I love the use of “firehose” as the choice word. CNN can spin anything remotely positive into Trump is evil so quick. Really? Filed with Chase first day of first round. After funding dried up got an email saying I was in Stage 3 (ready for SBA submission). Monday the 2nd round opened filed with Lendio & was funded 3 days. Chase doesn’t work for small business. And will no longer be my bank.
