"Whataboutism" is overused, like most other dismissive criticisms. I don't see anyone accusing the GP, or GPs allies, of causing this $340 billion in costs, therefore redirecting from it is not "whataboutism". The GP was rightfully flagged, but their complaint seems to be that they either don't care about this cost in particular, and would prefer a focus on an analysis of costs due to government corruption, or just that they care about both, and want the government corruption analysis next.
