the DOGE claims, even if true, are a tiny fraction of the fraud perpetrated by PPP loan recipients (businesses).
taxpayers did get ripped off - by corporations and their owners - using money that should have gone to household instead.

the takeaway here is that when government bailouts happen, the money should be given directly to US citizens/taxpayers who will actually use it on local commerce and transactions that stimulate domestic economic activity. instead, it was a free for all to anyone who could prop up a fake business. the clowns in congress trusted in trickle down economics, and it put hundreds of billions into the hands of oligarchs.... then they just FORGAVE THEM without any meaningful investigation or prosecution.
