You've Got to Be Kidding Me: DOGE Uncovers Hundreds of Millions in SBA Loans… to Children

It might be the case that DoJ doesn’t have enough manpower resources to prosecute all the cases.
@@@@@@@

This was the problem with investigating the Clintons while still Gov of Arkansas. Then Comey stepped up to “help”. The rest is history…..

WWG1WGA!

I think I get why the DOGE team is currently broadcasting and announcing all these fiscal anomalies found in their investigations; they're new and trying to build up their public reputation and purpose for existence.

However, from here on, the first thing we should read about such investigations are the charges being brought against people. Keep all the investigation stuff off the media radar. Just do your job, DOGE, and turn over any useful information to the DOJ, and then let them do their job.

[larrytown]

They better devise a new way rather than using the judicial system.

First - expose all the ELECTED officials rolling in this financial filth. Pick and pin the target, Alinsky-style, and attack it.

Get the Congress squared away for the YEARS of de-corruption work that is needed.

[Tom Tetroxide]

Think of how many candy bars I could buy with all that money as an 11 year old!!!

[McGavin999]

I do believe there will be, it’s going to be really hard for all but the dumbest leftists to support anything else. They will also have to pass the recession bills.

[reasonisfaith]

But why would you whine and cry the anti-MAGA theme?

The anti-MAGA theme perpetrated by the cabal is:

“Where are the indictments?”

We have not heard of any responsible agency taking action against the waste and corruption,

It's been almost four weeks. Why don't we have prosecutions and convictions on all of these people yet? In fact, why have they not already served a couple of years in jail since January? What is Musk dragging his feet for? Kash has been in charge of the FIB for over two weeks and Bongino at least a week! Why no results yet? What are these slackers doing? /S We all want justice but give it just a little time. This is a big ship to turn on a dime.

You DON’T!! Think MONEY LAUNDERING!

[roadcat]

Maybe in some kids needed money to expand their lemonade stands.

Too bad my pre-teen granddaughter didn't get a loan through this process. She partners with local stores to allow her to set up a stand inside where she sells homemade jewelry and art. She clears from $100 to $300 a day when she operates on weekends after paying expenses for materials and rent (gives 20 percent to shop owners). Her mom and dad are happy that she makes her own money to spend.

In the 70s, I went to school with kids who had the guts to do this...just on a whim.

Wow. I’m impressed! She doesn’t need government money; she’s successful on her own.

[roadcat]

Yes, she is doing well. Her mom (my daughter) does not splurge on her. When they shop, she allows her to pick one item and keep it simple - tells her that if she wants more she’ll have to earn it herself. No spoiling this kid or her younger sister. She also has a couple video sites where she demonstrates jewelry she makes, and shows makeup items with friends. Been doing this for several years now. Keeping her name anonymous until she is older, but people in her town know her. She and her younger sister started by setting up a stand in front of their house for passersby to buy items (they live near the downtown area), then she approached shop owners to use their space. Ironic thing is that her dad used to sell lemonade at events - girl doesn’t want to sell lemonade!

[onona]

Yup...

I have been conned by elected officials for all my life.

And I used to think used car salesmen were the worst

[KittyKares]

That’s quite an amazing granddaughter you have!! I wish her lots of success in life.

Leftists?? The latest CR fiasco was passed by nearly EVERY (R)N(C) member, to rousing applause.

Another large segment voted AGAINST codifying the fraud/savings DOGE has found.

[McGavin999]

The CR was passed to get us to September. It has nothing to do with the 2026 budget.

>The CR was passed to get us to September. It has nothing to do with the 2026 budget.

BWAhahahahaha. As if there’s ANY chance for ‘25, let alone ‘26, now that Speaker ‘Magic Mike’ gave away the store vs. govt “shutdown” -> today (broke EVERY promise he’s made *facepalm*)

And, a PLENTY of (R)N(C) voted AGAINST codifying DOGE savings/findings of fraud)

Good luck though. You can ‘tell me so’ come Sept. *rolls eyes*

[CodeToad]

Musk isn’t a prosecutor. He analyzes and makes recommendations.

Please study civics and government since you obviously didn’t in public school.

[LouAvul]

Your reading comprehension is as poor as your IQ. Where did I criticize Musk? I did not. I never said nor implied it's his duty to prosecute.

DOGE exposes. But to what end? If the DOJ doesn't prosecute then it's just window dressing. Like Trump's first term and Hitlery's crimes. Yet she still walks free.

Dust off those two IQ points of yours and do something useful, like, rub them together and start a fire.
