I’ll bet its foreign born crooks, legal and illegal immigrants and good luck getting that money back.

[JJBookman]

The same dead people that vote for Dems I wonder?

[blueunicorn6]

I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.

There are too many of them and they aren’t afraid of having to go to prison.

[LibWhacker]

more relief than any period in history???

ANY period would include the entire period between 1969 and 2019! 50 years. Hey, it is one period, and the article said "any."

I don't doubt the fraud set a record, but c'mon. A little accuracy would be appreciated.

[Migraine]

The average per offender = $45.6 million.

The DOL-OIG notes that the program was exploited with “easily attainable” personally identifiable information by both individual fraudsters and “organized criminal groups,” in its report.

You pull some of the most esoteric items from your massive memory!

[spintreebob]

Too many thieves? About 250 congress critters would be a good start... but convict in court and not hang them.Afterall we should have compassion. They are just trying to help.

[SaveFerris]

YES, you really DO have to say it!!

They caught 1000 fraudsters. Other 99,000 got away with big money.

[Tennessee Nana]

You know me

Per NewsMax reporting today, the government’s Covid relief package that was dispensed was $900 billion and $400 billion of it was looted.

[Cowgirl]

You’d think that much money would require more of an investigation sooner but it just shows money means nothing to the government, easy come easy go.
