The Paycheck Protection Program loans were very generous, as the so called "loans" could be forgiven if at least 60% of the money was used on payroll. Many of the employees' salaries were $60,000–100,000. While it is great that the employees were able to earn such impressive salaries, a law firm that could afford to pay such high salaries should hardly have its hand out for donations from the taxpayers to help. And, as usual, the government is playing games with not being very upfront with the public, as the so called "loans" were reported by the Small Business Association (SBA) as "paid in full," which includes both loans repaid and those "fully forgiven" from repayment under PPP guidelines.

If the so-called "loan" was "fully forgiven," common sense tells us that the loan wasn't repaid. So how in the world can the government say with a straight face that the so-called "loan" was "paid in full" when in fact it wasn't?

It funded the owners of our company under the guise of “we still paid you your normal pay instead of cutting you back”.... Hey, it’s their business and they can do what they want——but not with OUR tax dollars.

There was so much given out on this program it’s a wonder our money is worth anything. Here’s where you can look up how much a company got:
