1. CNN source, so tainted.

2. It's gone beyond this one guy btw, many others reporting similar fronts.

CNN source mentions the video that went viral and its author. Apart from the ad hominem attacks, it investigates the facility the guy was spotlighting as a fraudulent child care to have been scheduled for closing, and thus was empty.

Your other two links are just as weak in investigable material.

This must all be pretty demoralizing if you're an honest US citizen. What's the incentive to be honest when everyone else is cheating and getting away with it at your expense?

No. Fraud subject is great to rile the public to action, but the amount of fraud that happens is so low, it is minute to the benefits of the program, and thus the program is considered effective. Secondly, every person who has committed some fraud is always looking over their shoulder for years. Fraudsters in Hurricane Katrina damages were caught ten years later.

Well that's a race to the bottom. And are they getting away with it?

Does anyone else remember when they were mad about student loan forgiveness people said yeah but what about these covid loans and it was like pffff that was to keep business in business dumb child!

Why is this called Somali scan? No other ethnicities commit fraud?

Bloody hell.
