It has been a week since the Senate attempted to add funding to the PPP. Speaker Pelosi and her Democrat acolytes are refusing to fund loans to save small businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. She refuses to acknowledge the government took away the right of these businesses to operate.

The government forced these small businesses into financial straits if not bankruptcy.
A loan program has to have money to lend
Republicans tried to pass an additional $250 billion in small business funding last week. The move was necessary to save the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The program was about to run out of money. It is now out.
Sadly, Democrats blocked their efforts last week. They continue to block their efforts this week. The Leftists don’t care about small business, they do not care about the people who work or used to work for small business. Somehow in their world, they get to exact tribute for doing their job to represent the best interest of the people.
Some things you do because it is the right thing to do
Pelosi said there would be more discussions on funding the PPP. She said she hopes Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin “comes back with good offer. These Leftists, socialists, Democrats want more than $150 billion for state and local governments, $100 billion for hospitals and more money for food assistance programs. Pay the tribute to big government! Tribute for socialism! No clean bill for the specific purpose; tribute must be paid or you can all starve.
Rep. Dan Crenshaw took umbrage with the approach. He Tweeted, “Nancy Pelosi remembered to restock her $24K refrigerators with $13 ice cream but forgot to restock the Paycheck Protection Program for our small businesses. 22 million people are out of work.”
The tweet is a reference to Pelosi’s appearance on “The Late Late Show“. Who knew there was such a thing as a $24,000 refrigerator? Who knew anyone collected gourmet ice cream? She made the appearance from her multi-million dollar home.
In just 12 days PPP has helped over 1 MILLION Small Business save 15 MILLION American jobs. Now it’s being held hostage by Democrats. I’d call them leaders but I just cannot bring myself to use the words “Democrat” and “Leader” in the same sentence. Pelosi and her acolytes are putting their own greed and hubris ahead of the well being of the American people.
Here’s how to get a hold of your Senators and Representatives
Your Congressional Delegation is 100% in support of Pelosi, her position and their lifestyle. Who thinks refusing to fund small business rescue loans is a good idea? Go ahead and give your senators and representatives a call. Let them know how you feel about having to pay tribute to socialism. To get compensation for what our Big Government took from you that’s just wrong.
