Delaware Small Businesses Screwed Over By PPP

Our congressional delegation BLOWS.

The $350 million emergency federal program to help small businesses reeling from the nationwide COVID-19 shutdown has been spent, and Delaware’s share was the smallest of the 50 states.

Delaware, with a population of 974,000, had a total of 1,974 approved SBA paycheck protection program loans through Monday, according to the SBA data, and the aggregate value was also the lowest of all 50 states.

In contrast, Hawaii, with a population of just 1,400,000 received 8,426 loans — four and a half times the number Delaware received.

Oh well. At least Coons still gets invited to all the best cocktail parties.
