Closing Thought–13May21
We hear daily from the Trump Party about all those freeloaders that are getting off easy by getting their relief money and benefits…..that they are worthless because they use their money for luxury things like food, shelter and other necessities to live…..they are denigrated daily.
But not a word is said about those GOPers that pissed the money away….
California prosecutors are investigating abuse of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the loans given to businesses suffering under the economic crisis ushered in from the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the New York Times, one person used the government handouts to purchase a Lamborghini, Bentley and Ferrari.
“The man, Mustafa Qadiri, 38, of Irvine, was indicted by a federal grand jury on four counts of bank fraud, four counts of wire fraud, one count of aggravated identity theft and six counts of money laundering, the U.S. attorney in the Central District of California announced,” said the Times.
An OpenSecrets search of Mr. Qadiri revealed he was an active Republican donor, who owns a venture capital firm, All American Capital Holdings, LLC.

Time for that change that we all keep dreaming of with no help coming…..time for that to end.

I doubt there will ever be any agreement on this issue. If poor people eat pizzas and burgers, they are criticised for eating ‘junk’. (Same applies here of course) But rich people have those as ‘snacks’, so who is worse?
Best wishes, Pete.
I know…I guess I would like the same outrage for all cases chuq
This is slightly off topic but it goes along with the same mindset. I just heard Governor Mike Parsons has refused to implement voter approved Medicaid expansion. How nice to be able to further trample on democracy and the people who need help the most.
This is why I am not a big fan of states rights….opens the system up to abuses. chuq
