Too often sequels disappoint.
Consider these bombs - Caddyshack II, Jaws – The Revenge,
Mall Cop 2, Major League II, and I could go on. But every

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, and The Godfather, Part II come to
mind. So what will the critics (myself included) have to say
about the sequel to the not so little darling of the United
States' pandemic economy, the Paycheck Protection
Program? Really, it is too early to tell, as the SBA has yet
to issue rules or guidance to fill in the many gaps left by H.R.
133, The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021. But, as we
await additional guidance from the SBA, which should be issued any
day now, let's analyze what we know to date and see if and how
this sequel may help many of our small and mid-sized
businesses.
