Biden caught in ANOTHER LIE. (Comparing PPP loans to student loans.)

https://www.foxnews.com/media/biden-schooled-equating-ppp-loans-student-loan-handout-bash-gop-policy-illiterate-talking-point

First, for those who didn't know what a PPP loan was (and I didn't either) it's a business loan for those companies hurt by the Covid hoax and government shutting them down. It's a lot of money. Here's what Unelected Joe tried to say.

Slamming GOP lawmakers who opposed the massive government handout, he said, "I don’t wanna hear from MAGA Republicans, officials who had hundreds of thousands of dollars of debts, even millions of dollars in pandemic relief loan, forgiven, who are now attacking me for helping working-class and middle-class Americans."
He then went after Taylor Greene and other lawmakers, saying, "Marjorie Taylor Greene, she got over – she and her husband got $180,000 in business loans forgiven in the PPP program. She said it’s completely unfair for us to forgive student loans for working and middle-class Americans."

He continued, "Representative Vern Buchanan of Florida said our plan was ‘reckless.’ Guess how much he got in that program forgiven? $2,300,000." The crowd responded with boos, as Biden quipped, "This is not a joke. Can’t make this stuff up."

Biden also took aim at Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in the speech, stating, "Ted Cruz, the great senator from Texas, he said it’s for ‘slackers.’ Quote, ‘Slackers who don’t deserve relief.’ Who in the hell do they think they are?"

I know some libs here are playing with themselves right now, after reading this. But here come the facts.

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton debunked the president’s argument, writing, "Fact check: Fake history and false comparison. PPP loan forgiveness was passed by Congress -- the loans were designed to be forgiven. Biden has no legal/constitutional authority to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to forgive student loans without congressional authorization."

Conservative radio host Erick Erickson slammed Biden, stating, "Comparing PPP loans when the gov't forced people to shut down and businesses kept paying people salaries to student loans is ridiculous and shaming people for taking PPP when gov't forced them to shut down is absurd."

Senator Cruz ripped Biden to shreds, tweeting, "Unbelievable gall. Dems kept America shut down & disintegrated small businesses & jobs of working Americans…now he's comparing PPP loans that people got to deal w/ those govt mandates to loan forgiveness he gave to his Ivy League slacker fringe liberal base to buy their votes."

Reason10 is scared of private messages. He prefers to launch into his torrent of insults in public for all to see.

@LordShadowfire
Someone who is afraid to debate me publicly is a pussy.
I'll match my superior red state mind against ANY woke idiot here. (And there are plenty.)
Bring it to the issues where EVERYONE can see what is being said.

@Reason10 I'm not afraid of a public debate. What I'm saying is that what you do isn't public debating, it's public shaming. You just launch into a torrent of insults whenever anyone disagrees with you, and then you call people pussies for being offended. Hell, you can't even respond to my comment without racist hate speech.

@LordShadowfire You are TERRIFIED of debating me.
And when it comes to insults, let's not forget that it was YOUR goose stepping side of the aisle who first accused me of smoking crack, (just because the idiot didn't like being disagreed with.) Ultimate irony because your side of the aisle INVENTED CRACK COCAINE.
I have the facts. Intelligent people either agree with me or they debate me. Only idiots come at me with insults and somehow assume they are ENTITLED to not getting insults thrown back at them.
Oh, and I have NEVER said ANYTHING racist at this forum since the beginning, but once again a liberal throws in the race card when nothing else will work.
( Folks, this is really pathetic.) If you do not like losing every argument, don't debate me. If you don't like getting insults hurled back at you (instead of you being entitled to me just bending over and taking it) don't use insults. I don't start it, but I give as good as I get. And it is not my fault if you aren't smart enough to stand toe to toe, either on the issues or on insults.

You're absolutely right. I'm terrified I'll laugh so hard I piss my pants.

I never accused you of smoking crack. I sure as hell didn't invent it. That was done by the CIA to control the black population. Also, this is a red herring and a tu quoque fallacy. Stick to the subject of why you're afraid to have a civilized debate, please.
Only idiots come at me with insults and somehow assume they are ENTITLED to not getting insults thrown back at them.
Yeah, you're the one who started insulting me. I didn't insult you. In fact, when I got to the debate, you were already telling somebody else how you're infinitely smarter than they are, and they should go back to kindergarten. But keep talking about how only idiots use insults. It's amusing to me.
Oh, and I have NEVER said ANYTHING racist at this forum since the beginning, but once again a liberal throws in the race card when nothing else will work.
You use the word woke (actual meaning someone who is aware of the oppression of another religious or ethnic group) as an insult. So being aware that persons of color are suffering makes me an idiot to you. Nice try.
If you do not like losing every argument, don't debate me.

@LordShadowfire You have LOST this argument.
Grow up. And debate me HERE. You aren't special and you are not entitled to special private sessions.
Those are for losers and I'm not playing.

@Reason10
You have LOST this argument.
Nope. You lost the second you called me names, Sparky.
Grow up. And debate me HERE.
I'll be happy to, the second you stop engaging in ad hominem fallacies.
You aren't special and you are not entitled to special private sessions.
Got it. You prefer to behave like an ass in public. Duly noted.

@Reason10 You're doing it again. Calling me an idiot and a troll. All because you know damn well that if I actually did debate you on the issues, you'd go crying to your mommy.
