'Corruption so rampant': Billions lost in 'mammoth' COVID fraud IRS workers charged with stealing to buy luxury goods, fancy cars, travel

Often the Joe Biden administration has claimed that COVID-19 attacked families and workers through no fault of their own, and what was needed was its progressive spending agenda, specifically helping "people of color, immigrants, and low-wage workers."

In reality, however, Biden's spending, "billions and counting – has gone to unrelated causes and the administration’s COVID relief program continues to fleece American taxpayers," according to a report from government watchdog Judicial Watch.

The organization reported that, "Fraud and corruption are so rampant in the U.S. government’s mammoth pandemic relief program that the Justice Department created a special COVID-19 Fraud Enforcement Task Force (CFETF) to crack down on scams and recover some of the stolen funds."

A recent update from that organization should leave taxpayers "furious," the watchdog said, as "over $2 billion have been lost to fraud and more than $1.4 billion have been seized or forfeited."

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will
But what a thrill
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

Do you put one foot on the piano keys doing ascending and descending glissandos when you sing along with that at home? Just curious.🎼🎶🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

I can barely lift a foot to get it on the curb these days!

But I make a really good armchair quarterback!

I was getting 2 calls a week to take Covid Cash.
I didn’t need it and it was pretty clear it was a Gov run scam.

Yeah, that's the problem. The COVID hoax was pushed to keep President Trump from looking like he was doing anything about it, while suppressing his campaign rallies and blaming him for everything. But oh no, look over here -- the supposed relief programs were so large that no one noticed for years that a bunch of money was stolen.
