Why Isn't the Government Doing Its Responsibility?

In the united states, we have a tendency to ask the corporate side to do things that should be government business. So if the whole idea behind p p p was to keep people employed in small and medium businesses, why get the business evolved? Why isn't that directly from the government? The same thing with health care. Please leave businesses out of it. Do let the government do its responsibility directly with the citizenry.
