i think any time money is given to people, businesses, corporations, etc... it is a bailout. It's just a term. It could be one of several terms that would mean the same thing.

The people were bailed out during Covid too. That's one reason why we have the inflation we have today - although it has gone down dramatically now, but the prices remain high. That cost the taxpayers, everyone actually, dearly in the long run.

This forgiveness will also cost us in the long run. I've seen numbers around half a trillion dollars in 10 years.

If there is something that can be done to fix the underlaying problem, why not fix it instead? Maybe in the future, we won't need to do more bailouts.

Good doesn't always win!
