That way the government could do more of this with your money.
They bought Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Bentleys.
And Teslas, of course. Lots of Teslas.
Many who participated in what prosecutors are calling the largest fraud in U.S. history — the theft of hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer money intended to help those harmed by the coronavirus pandemic — couldn’t resist purchasing luxury automobiles. Also mansions, private jet flights and swanky vacations.
They came into their riches by participating in what experts say is the theft of as much as $80 billion — or about 10 percent — of the $800 billion handed out in a Covid relief plan known as the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP. That’s on top of the $90 billion to $400 billion believed to have been stolen from the $900 billion Covid unemployment relief program — at least half taken by international fraudsters — as NBC News reported last year. And another $80 billion potentially pilfered from a separate Covid disaster relief program.

Don't forget the rats want another 3.5 trillion. They didn't learn a lesson the first time so just triple down, lead with your chin and waste more tax payer money.

This is what happens when a majority of the people don't pay any income taxes and the government just prints the money they don't have. Why should you care about this kind of fraud and theft?Bendintheriver said:Don't forget the rats want another 3.5 trillion.

If only we could get a good federal investigation going into the High Speed Cali rail project. Is there any doubt if Newsome were a Repub the DIMS would already be on it if he were a potential POTUS candidate.

California is moving from the Chinese style of corruption where money gets stolen but the project still gets built to the African style of corruption, where all the money is ripped off and the project never gets built.46XiJCAB said:If only we could get a good federal investigation going into the High Speed Cali rail project.
