Aw.
You beat me to it.


I was going to kick him while he's deserving, by insulting his Stone Hands, though.

Hmm, it appears his name is spelled incorrectly on that shirt though wulfy. It ends 'amy' but I'm pretty sure it should be 'end'.

Not to dive too deeply into the political part of it, but I think fraud will end up being pretty pervasive with this program, and I doubt they'll prosecute the majority of it. The goal was a major cash infusion to float the economy and it largely worked as intended. But quick and large amounts of cash like that were going to be open to fraud.
