Ah yes, here it is, the "welfare queen" right wing trope, this time aimed at PPP fraud. The idea is that a small group of bad people did bad things and benefited from government provided social programs, and therefore you must take the benefit away from everyone.
It's pure propaganda.
And coming from the NY Post, I am not in the least bit surprised.
Is it bad that 17% of loaned PPP funds were based on fraud? Sure.
But that means 83% went to worthy recipients. Funny how their stories aren't getting told by the Post, though...
