They must be private citizens.
Only the government can steal that much money and get away with it.

The government treats its money like it belongs to someone else. They act like there’s no end to it. It’s the way they feel about taxpayers too.

"a network of individuals and organizations tied to Feeding Our Future, a nonprofit operating in Minnesota — in some cases obtained federal pandemic funds in the names of children who did not exist and then spent that money on luxury cars, houses and other personal purchases."

Now hear this—These are all SOMALIANS, all part of the Somalian Muslim invasion which is destroying Minnesota and America.

Message to Minnesotans: Your virtue signaling may have made you feel good, but you infected our country with incorrigible filth who will never assimilate. Their outlook on life is as far from American as East is from West. They are worse than gypsies, if anyone could image that such a thing were even possible.

Whoever said that blonde blue eyed Nordics were the genius master race was probably smoking dope.

Considering billions were probably stolen/misused/diverted, this seems silly.

It gets stolen because of mismanagement and outright fraud. It's the same reason they want to mail out a blizzard of ballots to steal elections.

I can just hear a bunch of dumb democrats right now.
