Small business were required to go through months of headaches to get approved for PPP and small grants and apply for EIDL loans. They ALL should be forgiven if the money was used properly.  The Government CAUSED the reasons why small business needed these loans in the first place by spreading false information and placing the country and most importantly, the employees and business owners in a state of panic. Business owners applied for the money to save their companies and make sure their employees did not have an interruption in their quality of life. Whether the loan was $50,000 or $500,000 and higher, if the small business used the loan to keep their employees job in tact 100% without interruption, these normally unnecessary loans in most cases should be paid for by the US Government  100% and not stick the small business with a debt they did not ask for because of a poorly handled pandemic. The small business that took the EIDL loan did it to save their company and employees. This debt is in the hands of the government and it is their responsibility to step up to the plate and pay for it. They created a nationwide panic and placed their people in jeopardy.
