Government officials forced us to lock down, mask up, and they tried to deny us our freedom to choose and force vaccines into our bodies.
Some of those same government officials, and their celebrity supporters, got a lot of money in Covid relief funds, also.
Most pandemic restrictions have eased, including mask and vaccine requirements, and most Americans have returned to their routines, even though some experts believe it is still too early to consider the pandemic over.
Any reimplementation of pandemic restrictions or lockdowns would have a dire effect on an already beleaguered economy as Americans try to deal with extraordinarily high food and fuel prices, not to mention wages not keeping with historic inflation rates.
Now we’re learning that some big names made off like bandits with government funds, aka, taxpayer dollars.
Millions of dollars were lent to wealthy celebrities’ companies through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Small businesses were supposed to benefit from the program during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the loans were often not repaid.
PPP loans cost taxpayers $953 billion, and a University of Texas study estimated that around $76 billion was fraudulent.
“The Good American jean company of Khloe Kardashian, a member of the Kardashian-Jenner dynasty whose net worth is estimated by South China Morning Post to be about $50 million, received a roughly $1.25 million PPP loan, Pro Publica shows. The loan, including interest, has been forgiven,” Just the News reported.
