  1. Margaret,
    I thought this was very effective in presenting your blogs…
    Something I am curious to learn is the timeline for a complete PPP loan, if you have already looked at this, thanks in advance.

    1. Yes, the timeline from submission to approval is around 2 weeks but that it all depends on if the application is qualified. Thanks for the interest.

  2. I was fascinated by the way you compared Kaynes & Hayek economic models in assessing the impact of the PPP loan for Small Businesses. It is imperative to see the merits and/or weaknesses of both Theories. Would like you to do more research into the issue of how low interest rates and high inflation affect the State’s Expansive Monetary periods as postulated by Kaynes during economic downturns and pandemics. I do believe that the heating of the economy due to the PPP loan disbursement to Small Businesses which has resulted in high inflation in recent times has given credence for the need to dive deep into the assertions of Hayek. Looking forward see how the conclusions of your work will dovetail these opposing ideologies. Great job!

  3. Margaret,
    An important topic which is of interest to a lot of my clients and I am looking forward for your final thesis. Funding for small businesses and the role of government spending has been always an important topic of discussion. Many people have agued against it but you have in four (4) small blocks advocated for government intervention where necessary, to help small businesses. Government spending in the private sector (especially in small businesses) is a necessary marriage between government and economics which is very difficult to separate by some people and to comprehend by others. However, in a few paragraphs you have demonstrated that government intervention (both Federal and state) is essential to the growth of small businesses in the US. Hope you can incorporate small business disaster recovery verse small business continuity assistance programs in your final discussions.
