> I mean, they sent what, $34m overseas erroneously of $2T?

Far less. That $34m included disbursement to non-resident US citizens. Considerably more than 28,333 US citizens live overseas. I have had to file tax returns for 10 years despite not living in the US and having no US income, you bet your ass I cashed that check.



Sure. So it's an order of magnitude less? Two? That's $1 in a $1M? $1 in $10M?

Objecting to social programs because they have minuscule errors drives me up the wall.

It makes sense if you consider weak people to be exploitable material for powerful interests. Social programs interfere with that dynamic - ergo the endless propaganda and demonetization of compassion.
