Big ooooff on this one. How does our treasury department not seem incredibly racist or at worse incompetent by withholding 600 some million from Native American Tribes?
The official excuse is that they were concerned about a lawsuit. To which the judge said, sure, then withhold the 6 million that’s being wrapped up in the lawsuit, but release the rest. That’s about 1 percent holding up a large sum of money devoted to the coronavirus effort on tribal territory. An area which is suffering the most due to the poverty and other concerns of Indian Country.
I spoke about the treasury department at length on our podcast- Not How Its Done. It’s under a subsection which I’ve been calling “the poor stay poor”. If you don’t listen, just know that apparently it’s pretty easy to steal a lot of money-the PPP payments and get away with it if you’re a republican friendly donor. I’m sure they had plenty of plans for this 600 million, and I’m sure they’ll still try to delay, keep it or try to direct it to someone else who can steal it.
This is what we voted for people….
