Brickbat: Fast Cash

The U.S. Secret Service reports that at least $100 billion was stolen from federal funds aimed to help people who lost their jobs because of COVID-19 and associated economic shutdowns and businesses that suffered because of the pandemic. That's about 3 percent of the money distributed under those programs, and it doesn't include cases being prosecuted by the U.S. Department of Justice.

So criminals are stealing from the pot of stolen goods created by criminals... Color me; not surprised.
Criminals pretending to be the saviors of all mankind with the whole wings and halo act; a little surprising. The fact they truly believe they are the saviors is appalling.
Our government doesn't like others horning in on its cash grabs.
How much border wall could $100 billion have built?
Not enough.
If you give the government $100B to build 1000 miles of border wall, they will build 250 miles of boarder wall at a cost of $200B.
Well there was the City in Illinois that needed a fence built. The Official in charge of it put out a request for bids. He got three replies. One from a contractor in Ohio, one from a contractor in Indiana and one from a contractor in Chicago. The contractor from Ohio asked if he could see the specifications. He looked at them pulled out his calculator worked some numbers for a bit and said that he could build the fence for $500,000. The Official thanked him and said that he had two more people to talk to about this. The contractor from Indiana came in and asked for the specifications and he also crunched some numbers and said that he could build the fence for $1 million dollars. He too was thanked. The contractor from Chicago came in and said that he could build the fence for $4.5 million dollars. The Official asked if he needed the specifications? The contractor said that he didn't need them. The Official asked how he could quote the fence with out the specifications. The contractor said "Easy. $2 million for you, $2 million for me and we hire the contractor from Ohio."
Ha.
I think trump only asked for 5 billion...
I'm remembering 20B, but I could be wrong.
Same I also heard this news but its wrong..
By progressive logic:
1. Criminal behavior is caused by inequity and unfairness, including the failure of society to provide just the right job with generous rewards.
2. So how can criminals "steal" the new benefits targeted at people like them?
Hey, every machine has its friction.
