disturbing or nothing!
I guess we really shouldn’t be very surprised. But a lot of us have held tightly to the cherished delusion that there is not widespread corruption. And it’s more than a little disheartening to see such things. I guess the naïve veil is being ripped away from our eyes. It’s just hard to deny any longer.
Remember when Democrats insisted that they needed unlimited COVID relief funds to help “struggling Americans?” Well, guess what — millions of those dollars went to elementary school “business owners” and people who would’ve been alive during the Civil War. You can’t make this stuff up.
… But wait; there’s more! The SBA wasn’t content just funding kindergarten startups — they also approved 3,095 loans worth $333 million to borrowers over 115 years old. One particularly industrious 157-year-old scored a cool $36,000.
Now, we can sit here and pretend that this is all legit, like Democrats do, or we can acknowledge that Elon Musk is exposing massive amounts of real fraud and should be celebrated, not attacked, for shedding light on all this government waste.
… This is precisely why we need Trump back in charge. When he put Musk in charge of hunting down government waste, the left howled about “conflict of interest.” Now we know why — it was terrified someone would finally expose its COVID cash grab for what it really was: a massive scheme to funnel taxpayer dollars into phantom businesses and impossible recipients.
The issue I have is what we, as taxpayers and citizens, are going to do about it. Most of the Democrat supporters are deliberately ignorant about such things. They don’t want to face the moral dilemma that those things cause, so they continue to go whistling past the graveyard. For many, it is a purely psychologically defensive tactic. For others, it is a way to keep riding the gravy train.
But those things still do exist. OK, so now what?
