The government forcing you to shut down is not really a downturn.

However forget all that. Let's assume you are 100% correct and PPP was a total scam period. So what? I don't see how that has any relevance on student loans? Because the government scammed us once we should go ahead and agree to let them scam us again? You could also believe that PPP was wrong AND loan forgiveness is also wrong.
