Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren lambasted what they called the Trump administration's weak oversight of trillions of dollars in coronavirus relief spending in an op-ed published on Sunday.
The Democrats laid out what they termed the administration's failings and how Biden, as president, would strengthen supervision of the funds being spent to prop up the U.S. economy.
Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, and Warren, a former 2020 contender who's seen as a possible vice presidential pick, said Trump has ignored the law requiring oversight of the stimulus funds. They also criticized him for firing an inspector general responsible for independently overseeing the spending.
"Both of us have served in Congress overseeing the executive branch," they wrote in the piece for McClatchy-owned newspapers. "We have also both served in the executive branch and answered to independent oversight. Take it from us: Oversight is vital to an effective democracy and a fair economy, and it's a threat only if you have something to hide."

This is good. And of course, she knows what she is talking about here, I am glad Biden's name is connected to Warren.
