It reminds me of the children’s book-“ If you Give a Mouse a Cookie.” If you give Lil’ Wayne 4 million dollars, Lil’ Wayne gonna spends it on Lil’ Wayne.

I want to say Lil Wayne was on a season of Celebrity Apprentice.

Why? Do they see stars when they deal with “celebrities”?

Rather than spend endless time and money “clawing back” money, the best course is to just destroy the recipient. Metaphorically, just kill them off.

Most Americans are star struck, just like simple-minded teen agers...and never outgrow it

I’m so happy for these rich celebrities!! The SBA grant I got after losing everything in a wildfire was paid off in cash from my savings to replace my home. Now they take part of my social security checks every month to repay interest.

Recall that the lockdowns were ineffective in preventing the spread of the virus. The COVID relief money was a complete waste. Damn all those guilty of spreading the hysteria.

“In a December 20 email released in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, an SBA employee said more than $155 million out of $216.6 million in grants paid out to NKSFB clients — or more than 70% of them — were “closed,” meaning that they have been fully reviewed. That leaves about $61 million across 22 grants that could still be under review.”

Surely the alleged crimes aren’t past the statute of limitations are they? We know Biden, et al, wouldn’t do anything (unless they were Republicans/conservatives), but what’s stopping Bondi from nvestigating/prosecuting?

“Nobody is above the law” we heard for eight years . . .

But if you overpay a veteran or an old person on social security, you garnish their future earnings until paid - regardless of how harmful it is to the innocent veteran/social security recipient.

Two tier system. The powerful get protection, the helpless are always victimized.

"...artists took millions for luxury clothes and private jets."

Not trying to sway the reader much there, huh, Jack?

Even though I agree with the overall message of the article, I really hate the sad state of "journalism" today.

Dang - that’s shady as all get-out. Those crooked “celebrities” really need to pay that money back.

A lot of schools banned that book, because it’s considered to be too “right wing”.

Of course in the media, you only hear about the banning of leftist books.
