Republicans Who Had PPP Loans Forgiven - Furious Over Student Debt Forgiveness

Republicans such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Tucker Carlson, Matt Gaetz, and Vern Buchanan are expressing outrage over President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, which cancels a portion of student loan debt for the country’s middle-class students.   Meanwhile, many of these same Republicans received hundreds of thousands, with some even millions in PPP loans, which have been forgiven.   Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 forgiven, Matt Gaetz $476,000, Lauren Boebert $233,000, and Vern Buchanan had a whopping $2.3 million in government loans forgiven. OK, so let’s see here - Vern Buchanan is worth over $70 million, and his three car dealerships had at least $2.3 million in PPP loans forgiven. Hmmm, now what was that again about paying back loans, Vern?  Of course, I’m no math wizard, but it sure seems like Biden’s little $10K loan forgiveness thingy is kinda minuscule - next to your big, fat $2.3 million cash windfall.  Just sayin’. ...
