According to
government estimates,
$4.61 trillion has been authorized for Covid-19 relief, while
$4.12 trillion of it has been spent - leaving roughly $500 billion in theoretically unspent funds, although a portion of that is currently "obligated" to certain pots of money and may not easily be returned to the US Treasury.
leaving roughly $500 billion in theoretically unspent fundsI've been hearing about unspent COVID money for nearly 2 years. Can anyone explain how money doled out from Washington remains unspent by cities, towns, municipalities, etc??
