The Biden administration next week will launch a funeral assistance program that will provide up to $9,000 to cover the burial costs of each American who died of covid-19 — the largest program of its type ever offered by the federal government. The program is open to families regardless of their income, as long as they show documentation and have not already received similar benefits through another program.

Okay, how did we ever survive without a national stimulus for funeral expenses for over 200 years? I am wondering? Guess we always need to remember COViD-19 forever.

[GoldenPup]

The FOOL is already trying to BUY the next election. MORON.

[Col Frank Slade]

Another government boondoggle that is ripe for financial fraud.

[Sacajaweau]

I see millions more dying of Covid in the future.

[Leep]

Just wait and see what they do during the next pandemic.
Due to arrive around 2023 or 2027.

[virgil]

There’s been fraud in the funeral industry. Especially in cities. Who knows how much elsewhere.

[Morpheus2009]

Yeah, and people are allowed to go threaten and trash things, and criminals aren’t impeded from record high murders in the cities, I know what to expect from pandemics now. It’s not pleasant.

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

Guaranteed to cause a spike in reporting of Covid deaths.

[Flick Lives]

For a $9K check from the government, some family members might off Grandma.

[Morpheus2009]

Or at least agree that COVID killed her...

[haircutter]

UNBELIEVABLE...

And what do families get for funeral expense for Seniors and Veterans who die of natural causes?

It has been like $200.00 for 50 years or more... smh

[skimbell]

That's the hook right there.
Jopedo is looking to find a way to get as many people as possible to swear up and down that "ol' so-and-so died of da plague”.
If it takes $9K/per of taxpayer money to get that "agreement", that's cheap.

[mewzilla]

There’s been fraud in the medical industry.

How many WuFlu deaths weren’t/aren’t really due to WuFlu?

[mewzilla]

I can’t believe, especially after **** like this, I’m the only one wondering if Cuomo goosed the WuFlu death toll numbers up, NOT down...

[Highest Authority]

He’s planning ahead for the results of the shots. Remember all those coffins the gov bought?

[goodnesswins]

THIS IS REAL??...not Babylon Bee?

[californian by choice]

Although thousands of deaths was not directly due to COVID19?.
Since it is known that there was a tendency to inflate the numbers to create panic

[LoveMyFreedom]

The insanity just keeps continuing in this administration and the sad part the dumb and dumber don’t realize it.

[Bernard]

I am sort of looking forward to a resurrection of the Obama "Cash For Clunkers" program. There are a lot of beater cars parked on the street in my neighborhood that would be replaced by beaters that have not started to rust yet, just like during the original program. At least it would look better when you drive down the street.

[TornadoAlley3]

This is already happening. Through FEMA.
