What a great example of the incompetence of government. They’re good at robbing our freedoms and spending our money, but that’s about it. And we’re supposed to trust them with health care? Ha!
One day after the Herald reported some surprised Bay State inmates – including murderers and rapists – were cashing in $250 stimulus checks, federal officials revealed the same behind-bars bonus was mailed to nearly 4,000 cons nationwide.
A federal watchdog is now probing how the cons were cut the checks. The same cash also may have been sent to fugitive felons, people kicked out of the country and even individuals now deceased.
It’s all part of the massive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 – and what is becoming an accounting nightmare for red-faced feds.
“President Obama’s $787 billion stimulus bill has done more to help convicted criminals than it has to actually boost our economy and create jobs,” said Republican National Committee spokeswoman Sara Sendek.
The Inspector General of Social Security is now tracing the checks that were mailed to 3,900 prisoners at a cost of nearly $1 million after yesterday’s report in the Herald.
Gee, I wonder what the convicts spent the money on. Did Bernie Madoff get a check?
I don’t know about Madoff, but I read that a whole lot of dead people got checks.

I read that the dealer pays the entire tax. Sounds like there will be some real surprises at tax time.

Uhhh, yeah! How stupid are we? of course Obamas base constituents received stimulis checks.
P.S. I still don’t care that Ted is dead.

Again the Dems are rewarding their favorite voting groups, criminals and dead people. George Soros probably got a whole box full of those checks to recycle into the Dem. campaigns.
