January 1, Biden-Era Pandemic Loan Failures Spark New Trump Crackdown

Wyatt’s Take

• The Trump administration is moving against pandemic-era loan fraud that piled up under the previous administration.
• Kelly Loeffler has referred 562,000 delinquent SBA cases to the Treasury Department for collection.
• Officials say the effort targets $22.2 billion in suspected bad debt and could help recover taxpayer money.

For years, the previous administration sat on half a million suspicious loans rather than chasing down the people who stole your hard-earned tax dollars.

Administrator Loeffler called this a decisive action to end a scheme that shielded fraudsters from accountability for years.

“From Day One, the Trump SBA has worked tirelessly to crack down on billions in pandemic-era fraud that the Biden Administration forgave or ignored.”

Under new leadership, the SBA has added common-sense rules like citizenship and birth date verification to prevent future theft.

State-level investigations have already uncovered billions in fraudulent loans in places like California and Minnesota.

“For years, the Biden Administration shielded these borrowers from debt collectors as part of a de facto amnesty scheme – but today, they will finally face accountability.”

The Treasury will now begin the process of collecting this debt to restore balance to the American taxpayer.

This marks the largest referral of its kind in the history of the Small Business Administration.

Working-class families pay their bills and follow the rules, so it is a slap in the face when the government lets fraudsters walk away with $22 billion. Seeing the new administration actually chase down this money shows they finally care about the people whose pockets were picked.
