  1. I am glad to see this video, I was able to get into the second round of funding to submit my application. I have no idea where I am in the process but remain hopeful

    1. @FB Wrk Barack Obama only bailed out the Airlines at the Bankers he did nothing for the middle class

  2. These comments 😂🤣🤣🤣 That’s why I’m here!! Keep all the political talks for yourself please!

    1. If you don’t agree or don’t like it here or don’t like the job he’s doing you could always go back to your own country, and we want you to go back because you probably think you’ll be better off there…where you came from. And take a planeful of democrats with you please

    2. L Jay 😂🤣😂WEIRDO!!!! Blah blah blah Tf are u talking about….idgaf about politics, like I said I’m here for the comments!!

  3. Mnuchin, who took 1 billion for his bank, One West, in the 2008 bailout.
    He used the money to buy up your foreclosed homes.

    1. Mnuchin is one of those despicable people responsible for many people loosing their homes in 2008. Period.

    2. Mr Man Man People treated real estate like a currency and got greedy buying rentals they couldn’t afford hoping to sell 2-3 years later. Banks were not regulated enough. Thankfully the Dodd Frank Act prevents people from ever doing that again.

    1. Addams29 Many of those jobs will be lost to automation. Big business models are outdated and the commmon unskilled employee will be wiped out. Small local businesses based on specific skill sets and criteria are the solution.

    2. @Firefly people will still buy it because of the price difference but the quality won’t be the same.

    3. @John Doe Yes I agree. The quality hopefully will be better. American pride in making something. I hope. At this point I just don’t want to support a Communist country that treats its people bad, treats us bad, steals from us… and has obviously a horrific virus and disease problem. This isn’t the first time they have spread a disease that killed people.

    1. yes,…but,….. it’s a total democrat hoax,. and it will magically disappear,… a stable genius told us so,..

    1. @Jamie C
      But here in Spain and all Europe civilians can,t use military calibre because it,s for exclusive use armed forces

  5. The small business loan forces them to reopen while it’s still unsafe, putting millions more at risk of the virus.
