In today’s climate, it is vital to remain vigilant about how our government handles taxpayer money, especially when the figures are as staggering as those revealed by the recent audit of the Small Business Administration (SBA). An astonishing $544 million was identified as improperly paid out through the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, a fund designed to support businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. While the intentions behind such programs are noble—aiming to protect jobs and keep small businesses afloat—the execution exemplifies a system that is failing to serve the very citizens it intends to help.
