It’s the “Paycheck Protection Program.” Not the “Payment Protection Program.” How am I supposed to believe the other facts of this story if they can’t get the name of the thing they’re talking about right?

He got caught, how about the hundreds still undiscovered. Maybe a revolution is needed to clean up the corruption in the swamp.

Wonder how many hospitals got the funding they needed from fraudulent death certificates. Just curious.

A good example of “the first million is the hardest”.
