How can ppp loans be forgiven for large companies. But small one owner business have to pay debt for the next 30 years? We were forced closed by COVID!
Jeff, destekleniyor: EIDL LOAN FORGIVENESSI took this loan to try and keep my business alive but because everything was shutdown we lost all business.
If the country never shutdown we would have been fine and the mega corporations were able to forgive their PPP loans.
Small businesses needed the help the most and we are left drowning in debt while also losing our livelihoods. Please consider forgiving these loans so that we can move forward without constant extreme anxiety wondering what will happen and how we will ever pay back the money now that we are barely scraping by.
Johnny, destekleniyor: EIDL LOAN FORGIVENESSThe SBA EIDL loans were crucial for businesses at a time when many were shut down or barely operational due to the pandemic—this much is widely recognized. However, fewer people acknowledge that for many companies, the struggles didn’t end there. Supply chain disruptions, soaring cargo and shipping fees, and rampant inflation made simply staying in business incredibly difficult, let alone turning a profit. For some, it has taken years to even approach a sense of normalcy, and for others, that stability still hasn’t returned.
This is why I believe there’s a strong case for forgiveness or compromise on these loans. The government provided PPP and ERC funds as 100% forgivable support, based on the same core principle as EIDL loans: to keep people employed and businesses afloat. Given the extended challenges and financial burdens that followed, a similar approach of forgiveness or at least compromise seems fair and necessary for the businesses that took on EIDL loans to survive.
jean pierre, destekleniyor: EIDL LOAN FORGIVENESSMy business failed despite the eidl loan so without that income I was struggling to pay it back and now I have just had a stroke so I am off of regular employment as well and have no chance of paying this loan off at this point.
Kori, destekleniyor: EIDL LOAN FORGIVENESSI took the EIDL loan because I thought it would help save my business. It did for awhile until inflation got so bad that I lost a significant amount of customers and finally shutdown the business this year. It was a very difficult decision to close my business after 25 years. Now at 71 years old I am barely hanging on. My rent has increased by $600 mo. Please help. Share some money you are giving to illegal aliens, Ukraine, and student loans, funds that you just gave to China for a rail system. China caused COVID-19 in the first place and then sent it to the USA. I filed for hardship but I still struggle. I posted a link to this petition to X, SenateGOP, RFKJr, Ted Cruz, Marsha Blackburn, Trump.
Glenda, destekleniyor: EIDL LOAN FORGIVENESSI am one of the people affected by this issue. I waiver on my support of this petition because yes, I did sign the loan documents and as somebody who wants to act honorably paying it back is the right thing to do. However, when we took out these loans we were not living in normal times. We were terrified, our businesses were failing and we were afraid for our health and safety. Why? Because the government shut down the country and told its citizens that we should be afraid. Fear is what drove me to take out the loan and honor drives me to want to pay it back--but things have not gotten better. In my case they have gotten much worse. I have had to stop paying on the loan as even the 50% hardship payment is beyond my capability. If I want my children to eat, at least. Having this hanging over our heads is debilitating and we need help.
Paul, destekleniyor: EIDL LOAN FORGIVENESSI had to close, but still pay rent etc. bill then increased due to inflation and high interest rates completely extinguishing the S.B.A. loan. Mom and pop shops like myself had to close while the big boys took over the market. I had to close, find a new job and now there is no way for me to make the monthly payments. Covid EIDL Scam.
Jonathan, destekleniyor: EIDL LOAN FORGIVENESSThe PPP program was not set up to help small businesses being shut down during COVID. It was meant to help retain employees.
The problem is, there were many small businesses like ours, even seasonal ones that had huge expenses but not a large payroll. Therefore, the PPP grants did not adequately cover the costs of staying in business.
In our case, the government shut us down in the beginning of our season and now we are paying the government back with interest! Is this fair? No!
I have written to my representatives but nothing happens and this large loan we took out with just a few strokes on the computer, is really affecting our ability to continue doing business. It is maddening!
Lezlee, destekleniyor: EIDL LOAN FORGIVENESSLittle Saigon and the greater CID neighborhood are sorely under-resourced and rarely invested in with the same amount of equitable revitalization and conservation dollars as neighboring areas, such as the Seattle Waterfront, Downtown, and SODO areas. Historical communities such as CID deserve MORE investment and preservation as a pillar of contribution through the centuries in shaping our beautiful city, too. Seattle is known for Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, our fresh seafood
SINA, destekleniyor: Dedicate Resources to Restore and Revitalize Little SaigonI’m so willing to help. Have you been to any parks in Seattle? I recently visited Discovery Park and relaxed against an Ancient Cedar. I’ve walk along the new Waterfront Park. But take a look at what kind of park the city has provided for the residents of Little Saigon! Amazing to see a simple, thoughtful, non-violent approach to the human mess that 12th and Jackson has been. Power washing sidewalks several times a day has disrupted trafficking. We all owe a huge apology to the residents and businesses here in Little Saigon. I don’t see evidence that King County even understands what a solid Public Health Department should have been doing all along to address the exploding opiate crisis. This is also the responsibility of the city, state and federal leadership.
I can’t post the pictures I’ve taken here. They ooze racism, elitism, and a stunning blindness to the existence not just of the Little Saigon community and its Vietnamese heritage, but also to the struggles of the homeless and neighbors who have fallen into the black hole of fentanyl. I’ve heard locals suggest using automatic weapons to murder addicts and transients. Seriously???? With the financial, educational and intellectual resources in this state, this has been acceptable.
In addition to the leadership, the experts, the authorities Tanya has asked to come to our table and face this square on, I’d like to see some of the world famous experts from UW show their faces, be invited to use their talents to help out. After all, UW is a state institution.
Invite faculty in Public Policy, Pediatrics, Family Medicine, Community Medicine, Public Health, Addiction Medicine, Psychiatry and Psychology and more.
PLUS- where do the state MEDICAID dollars go? Other states get funding through the Medicaid program for community projects, alternative approaches such as Acupuncture, PEER drop in centers and more.
There’s a budget issue at the city level at least. However, at the meetings I’ve attended there’s never been a representative for our Medicaid Program.
I’m sure I could go on and on but one HUGE issue that disturbs me is how WA state educates its law enforcement. There’s only one police academy. Why isn’t law enforcement training integrated into our state educational system? I’ve read of deaths at the hands of police who hog tied a resident. Then “experts “ that trained those officers show up in court, at our expense, to defend this practice. Law enforcement didn’t put an end to this, the state legislature had to do that.
And if you want to take this further, seriously, this is on Murray, Cantwell and for me Adam Smith that here in 2025, there STILL are no national standards for police training. Experts in the field of Special Education and Psychiatry needs to be teaching safe, human techniques to either restrain a person OR consider being patient, getting others to safety, and DE-ESCALATING a community crisis.
Educators and health care workers do not have control of their documentation. They can’t alter, edit or withhold records. It’s never OK to just walk off without doing your charting. So, why isn’t there a federal mandate about the use of cameras as well as transparency and accountability at least for documentation which should be public record.
I’m going off on this as there still is a huge problem with public safety overall. We need quality “policing” as well as staffing communities with skilled responders who are more appropriate for community emergencies that DO NOT REQUIRE AN ARMED RESPONSE.
I’m so tired of going in circles and never seeing even a planned top to bottom, bottom to top, long term strategic plan for a state behavioral health safety network.
How can it just be shoved to the side??? Because??? No one really lives there.
Maybe preparing for the FIFA games will be the huge motivator. WOW!
