Why Justin Amash Was Opposed To The CARES Act

Justin Amash represents Michigan’s Third District in the 116th United States Congress.

Amash was against Paycheck Protection Program for small businesses from the beginning. He felt the program discriminates against the people that need it the most.

Justin Amash went a step further and said the program was designed to fail.  

"As I said before and after I voted no on the last coronavirus bill, it was never designed to work, the approach is inefficient and fundamentally flawed." - Justin Amash via Twitter

I voted no on last month’s $2+ trillion coronavirus bill. Among its many failures, that bill denied assistance to millions of people. Today’s bill corrects an inequity by adding funds to PPP. But it doesn’t fix structural flaws that made the last bill so unfair and ineffective.
