one fun epilogue here: the SBA communicated this reversal in a letter to the Hill, citing the fact people "were confused by misleading reporting in the press." you're right, sure, i personally wrote the laws and policies governing EIDL, and i apologize profusely for that

By SBA's count, there are about $30 billion in EIDL/PPP loans so far behind in payments they could face sanctions, like wage garnishments, if they are referred to the Treasury Department. That's a big loss, but maybe only 2.5% of the programs' portfolios
