Much of the COVID-19 spending that doesn’t qualify as wasteful or fraudulent was nonetheless misspent
- The pandemic caused the government to pump the nation full of as much money as possible, as fast as possible
- Nearly everyone-married, unmarried, employed, unemployed, through businesses small and large-got cash through the $2 trillion CARES Act
- It's now clear that an enormous amount of the eventual $5 trillion was spent "improperly," and that some was downright fraudulent
- At least $163 billion of the $873 billion in unemployment insurance benefits was spent in error, and little of this sum was recovered
- A significant share of the money was claimed by organized fraudsters and scammers
The real scam is the entire process that starts on Capitol Hill
- Of course there was some fraud, but the malfeasance happened only because the programs were created in the first place and designed to go to everyone regardless of need
- This reckless “design” is the true scandal
