And it's a great idea, but you have a problem of being able to do it fast enough to get money out to everyone that needed it at the time. Creating a new system to do that would of taken a lot more time.

Any kind of "free" will cause inflation and risk creating affordability crisis.

Trump also stripped the watchdog part of the law that was passed by congress on day 1 so we had no actual enforcement of the rules or any record keeping to even be able to enforce it later. So thats why it was freely abusable.

I don't think that true. Congress created several oversight bodies during that time so I may have missed something.

The only thing I know Trump did was fire Glenn Fine as acting inspector General.

Could you tell me more about what you mean?

Yes exactly, the law only allowed "current inspector generals" to fill the position of overseeing $2T in coronovirus relief effort funds, so with him fired no one could legally fill the role.

You know that is section is part of the CARES Act that Congress agreed too?

Yea and? They passed the law and he immediately abused it. You can argue day and night that "well congress shoulda patched that" but he's still the bad guy who chose to abuse it. And likely if they went out of their way to specifically patch that republicans wouldn't have passed it either, knowing full well how their side was going to abuse it

So your argument is that Trump followed the law and that makes him bad?

Trump was the one that went out of his way to cause a bad outcome when he didn't have to, because he and his rich friends could abuse and benefit without oversight. Yes exactly what im saying. If you call that "following" the law like its some kinda gotcha just so you can win an internet argument or "own a lib" without realizing what you've actually done to the future of our world and the lives of billions, idk what to tell you.

What's your bad outcome here?

The inflation caused by not being able to properly enforce the rules that were supposed to be enforced for every single loan that went out. Most were basically all forgiven that shouldn't have been and we have no records to audit because of his actions.
