Covid-19 fraud is one big reason why the public doesn’t trust their government
American Thinker ^ | 23 Aug, 2022 | Rajan Laad

Recently, a government report revealed that COVID-19 relief efforts led to possibly the largest fraud in the history of America.

The Washington Post reported that unemployment benefits of an estimated $163 billion were paid to undeserving individuals due to either error or fraud.

In the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program, around $58 billion was paid to companies that shared the same addresses, phone numbers, bank accounts, or other data as other applicants — a clear indication of fraud.

Why did this happen?

The first reason is antiquated computer systems.

The federal and state governments have separate databases to store the same information and isolated systems to perform the same function. At times departments within both state and federal governments have separate databases for the same data. The systems do not always share information with each other.

The outcome is data redundancy, data inconsistency and no proper tracking.

The second reason is the lack of coordination between state and federal governments, as well as indifference for taxpayer funds.

For instance, an expanded unemployment benefit gave workers an extra $600 per week in federal jobless funds on top of what they received from their state. The program was funded by the federal government but administered by states, which often had loose rules around qualifying.

CoupFlu policy is about protecting the public health the same way climate change policy is about saving the planet.

Perhaps because every bill before Congress has the opposite effect from what its name implies?

I bet others enjoyed a little of also. But if it got circulated
in the economy then it was a help during the shutdown.

It allowed the Communist Party to steal an election.

For Democrats, it’s never about the effectiveness of a bill or how much accountability there is; it’s about how much money is thrown around.

That was the primary intent, and everything else is smoke and mirrors.

Unfortunately, it worked like a charm...

I stopped watching/listening to many sources when in lockstep they all went with the BS lines that Biden won the election, and wouldn’t even entertain the notion that the voters had been cheated.

Biden doesn’t have to wait for death for his punishment; his humiliation is very public as he stands there staring vacantly in his soiled diaper, blabbering nonsense in front of his alleged supporters/voters...

Now the sheep believe the lie that your Covid would have been worse without the shot. Some never learn.

You mean you actually doubt that Basement Joe got 81 million legitimate votes in ‘20?

--- "...my distrust of government goes all the way back to my first memories of the government."

The motion is seconded. Government has far too often lied, and then demanded the citizenry accept each lie.

Bonus questions: Which war / kinetic action / special military operation has the US administrative state won in the last decades? None that I have counted. Which has it lost? All of them. What has been the cost?

COVID demonstrated how effective mass psychosis is on a population .
We learned that you can not trust anything from the US government or news media.
Alex Jones was right about the deep state and the New world order. The ruling elite want us dead.
I am trying to decided the biggest lie forced down our throat in my lifetime . Is it diversity is our strength or Obama was a legitimate President? We are constantly gas lighted everyday 24/7.

This all goes back to the assignation of JFK. When he threatens to pull out of south Vietnam, the deep state took him out. They couldn’t wait for the voters to decide.
