Anyone also think politicians didn’t get wealthier from the governments ChiCom Flu response?

$1.8B in fraud so far.

“Fabulous! The IRS is On. The. Case! They’ve managed to prosecute, but not recover all that wasted money. Kudos to them! Except that’s just the tip of the iceberg. You see, there are multiple state and local government entities who took the Covid Relief Funds and ran with it.”

Remember: You’re taxes are too low.
Thanks to a sudden $140 million cash infusion, officials in Broward County, Florida, recently broke ground on a high-end hotel that will have views of the Atlantic Ocean and an 11,000-square-foot spa.

—tens of millions of dollars for tourism marketing campaigns in Puerto Rico ($70 million), Washington, D.C. ($8 million) and Tucson, Arizona ($2 million). The city of Alexandria, Virginia, also announced it would spend $120,000 to give its tourism website a makeover.
—$6.6 million to replace irrigation systems at two golf courses in Colorado Springs.
—$5 million approved by Birmingham, Alabama, to support the 2022 World Games. The event features niche sporting contests such as DanceSport, korfball and flying disc.
—$2.5 million to hire new parking enforcement officers in Washington, D.C.
—$2 million to help Pottawattamie County, Iowa, purchase a privately owned ski area.
—$1 million to pay off overdue child support in St. Louis. A city memo states that owing child support stops some people from looking for work because the overdue payments are garnished from paychecks; the program would “empower individuals” by paying down a portion.

There was lots of theft of covid funds going on, not by local governments, you tool, but by the big corporations who should not have been applying.

$350 Billion was paid to individual states by Federal Government ...

... if only $2 Billion was pissed away on wasteful spending, diverted to local pork projects, or just pocketed by local politicians, I would be truly shocked.

No wonder your country is in such trouble. Basic human decency and morality is completely gone. Get it while you can.

We're talking about politicians. Now one with basic human decency or any sense of morality would go into the profession. That's true for every country.

You don't control corruption and waste by trying to elect "good" politicians. You do it by limiting the power of politicians and limiting their opportunities to be corrupt.

You can't pay people for influence if they have no influence.
