The government is sending out stimulus checks to thousands of dead people. I’m thinking that we should all check our mailboxes for checks for our daddies stimulus checks (in my case my grandfather’s). All of these checks add up to millions of dollars wasted, even if they manage to stop these checks from being cashed, which is illegal.
For the sake of argument, let us say that all of the 8,000 to 10,000 checks that were erroneously mailed are cashed. That would mean at $250 each, it would be $2,000,000 – 2,500,000 that was wasted on people that were dead (are they trying to get the dead vote?). Now on the reverse, if none of those checks are cashed, the government will still have to investigate this issue, which means a waste of the printing plus the expense of trying to track down all of the zombies that got those checks. Either way a person looks at this, millions are being wasted.
If this is the way the Obama administration is handling money and his grand scheme to save the economy, we all have something to fear. Let’s see how much will be wasted of the trillions yet to be spent.
