Report finds $5 trillion of pandemic spending difficult to track even for experts
Just the News ^ | 7/15/23 | Brett Rowland

Anew report found that the $5 trillion Congress spent on pandemic relief efforts has been so difficult to track that it has even stumped some government investigators.

A new report from the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee tracked $2.65 billion of pandemic relief funding to six communities. The report found that "data gaps make it difficult for taxpayers to know how much money their community received and for what purposes." The $2.65 billion is part of $5 trillion in federal relief given out during the pandemic.

"Existing gaps in federal spending data make it difficult for the oversight community, decision-makers, and American taxpayers to fully understand where the money went and how it was used," according to the report. "Moreover, these gaps even make it difficult for program officials administering the funds to have a clear understanding of funding recipients and uses."

It isn’t sitting under the recipients’ mattresses - it ended up as a burst of consumer spending that everyone in DC wants to take credit for. The motivation to investigate is very slight.

Just like the cocaine in the WH, can’t find what happened with that either.

They did not want it tracked. They just wanted to give it away.

I regret not spending time and effort to try and get me some of that $$$$. I would have zero guilt taking from “my” government.

The part that can’t be tracked probably ended up back in DNC coffers. Less any bribes to keep gatekeepers quiet.

Ask any publicly traded company for an audit of monies received and spent. They’ll have it within a week.

Those experts can’t find out or track anything that has to do with activities concerning issues that involve their own like free covid money, weapons and money to Ukraine, or dope in the White House, but they excel in finding and hunting down grannies and innocent protestors at the Capitol building, or what’s in boxes of junk in the basement of Mar-A-Lago.

Deliberate incompetence when self preservation is at stake..

Crooks don’t rob banks any more.

The real money is in politics.

Wouldn’t you think trillions of dollars wwould leave a long green trail through the swamp, or does it just sink into the muck.???

Most of this money was administered by the Biden administration so they should be held accountable.

Flash News: An administration that cant find the cocaine culprit in the WH under its nose will announce that the money has just disappeared and taypayers should be glad it wasn’t more due to the eagle eyed auditors they employed.

All too true! A version of that would make a good bumper sticker. Ambitious criminals have all gravitated to politics.
