Some of the programs are rife with fraud by accident, some (many?) are rife with fraud by design. In my state the contracting system to do things like build roads is rated the most corrupt in the country. Does anyone imagine that's an accident? The PPP gave out "forgivable" loans to small businesses. It was sold as helping businesses that closed down. I know multiple small businesses that never shut down, had their best year ever during the pandemic, and also took home a few hundred thousand dollars extra from the PPP. The general public would consider this fraud, even though technically it's all by the books, broken by design.
