美国512亿美元的小企业援助都哪里去了？

美国政府周一披露了为小企业提供的数千亿美元冠状病毒援助金的详细消息。截至6月30日，薪资保护计划向近490万家小企业发放了5210亿美元的贷款。按照该项计划，如果企业持续雇佣或重新雇佣被解雇的工人，且大部分资金用于支付工资，那这些贷款将被免除。当该计划在4月开始时，有数百万企业申请贷款，但最近几周，该需求似乎没了，仍有近1320亿美元未使用。该计划原定于6月30日到期，但国会两院上周投票，决定将其延长至8月8日。

The government disclosed detailed information Monday about hundreds of billions of dollars in aid to small businesses suffering from the economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic. Here’s a look at where it went. The Paycheck Protection Program distributed $521 billion in loans to almost 4.9 million small businesses as of June 30. These loans will be forgiven if businesses maintain jobs or rehire laid-off workers and if most of the money goes to payroll. Overseen by the Small Business Administration, it’s the centerpiece of the government’s economic response to the pandemic. Millions of businesses applied for loans when the program began in April. But demand evaporated in recent weeks, and almost $132 billion remains unspent. The program was set to expire June 30, but both chambers of Congress voted last week to extend it to Aug. 8.  source
