Covid relief

In 1998 the big tobacco companies settled a law suit and sent $250 billion to states to be used for problems caused by using tobacco products. This money was used for all sorts of things having nothing to do with tobacco things like literacy and agricultural programs. In the past year billions were sent to states for Covid relief and much was spent on things unrelated to Covid things like hotels, ski resorts and ball parks. In less than two years $ 4.5 trillion dollars in Covid was sent out and it is impossible to keep track of all that money in such a short period of time. Between 2020 and 2022 the national debt increased by $7 trillion dollars. Now some are suggesting that the government add another $1.7 trillion to the debt to cancel student debt
