While most Americans have moved on from the pandemic, investigations into the decisions made, including the allocation of billions of dollars, have in many ways barely begun.
Now, a few weeks after a report came out showing how numerous wealthy and well-connected individuals were able to take advantage of fully forgiven loans through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) claimed his son was a victim of identity theft and had nothing to do with a default of $140,000 in handouts.
In a move seemingly meant to encourage compliance as the nation was forced into lockdown through draconian policies only meant to last “two weeks to slow the spread,” the federal government moved to dole out hundreds of billions of dollars through the readily manipulated PPP. While speaking with reporters Monday on a particular use of funds that he found unsavory, Fox News reported that Durbin used his own son as an example of why there needs to be more oversight of where those monies went.
