The Senate Passed $484 billion Bill

[OldLady]

For Payroll Protection Program, and increased aid to hospitals and for testing.

House votes on it Thursday. Increased aid to hospitals and for testing were the Democrat add-ons that Trump said had "nothing to do with Covid." So the House should pass it no problem.

You know, the Payroll Protection Program is a forgiveable loan to small business owners so they can keep people on the payroll and continue to pay them, even if furloughed, so that they can restart quicker when the pandemic is over.

If Trump has this great plan in place, why in the hell is unemployment spiking through the roof? Isn't the plan supposed to work in place of welfare?

Mnucin said it was $600 Billion. Half to go to PPP. The other half to hospitals, Fire, etc. Same thing you talk about?

Great. Good to see. There are some multinational conglomerates that haven’t fleeced us yet. Congress is on the ball!

Not everyone works for a small business? the self-employed? Cut backs in staff when a place is still open? I think some of these folks got "laid off" by their employers before the PPP was established. They all plan to get called back to work as soon as their boss can reopen. There are a LOT of people working in this country.

I'm sure it's helping. Do you know how much money it would cost to keep all those people working?

he's got a beat up trump point. i don't think he gives a **** about the details or even being "correct" in why.

Mnucin also said, and did Trump, all those who aren't supposed to receive PPP are going to give it back. No vetting? Give me a f'n break. I say they all got caught in this magnificent way to fleece the ever lasting **** out of the US taxpayer and citizens.

Uh, maybe because it isn't over? Not a single business that was shut down last week is open until this week. Why would you expect numbers to change?

My state will likely see no change for a few more weeks.

Nope, sorry, but self employed and "gig workers" (Uber and Lyft), are eligible for this program as well.

Self-Employment, 1099s, and the Paycheck Protection Program | Bench Accounting

If you're self-employed, you're still eligible for the Paycheck Protection Program. Here's how it works.

bench.co

All small businesses qualify for the Payment Protection Program.


This includes:


Sole proprietors who report income and pay taxes on a Schedule C in your personal tax return.


Independent contractors who collect 1099-MISC forms.


Gig economy workers who take on-call jobs provided by companies such as Uber, Lyft, TaskRabbit, and Instacart.


The only stipulation is that your business was operational as of February 15, 2020. If you started your business after that date, you will not be eligible for this program.

the PPP is beyond a cruel joke ~S~

Biker, that's just what they're telling you

And that PPP to Criss Steak House? I heard that equates to $15K per employee. Such a deal.

This program is for 500 employees or less. That means large companies have to figure out a way to survive. So of course they had to layoff employees. No other choice really.

I believe so. The article said that's what it's for. Don't know about Fire.
