Cocktail Confessions

This is a news article I found on FoxNews.com today:

Stimulus Checks Mistakenly Sent to 1,700 Inmates, Federal Agency Says.

Excerpt: “The inspector general’s office for the Social Security Administration is looking into the problem as part of its broader audit on stimulus spending. The Social Security Administration acknowledged the $425,000 glitch following a report that nearly two-dozen inmates in Massachusetts had wrongly received the $250 stimulus checks.”

Social Security spokesman Dan Moraski told FOXNews.com in a written statement that the money went out because official records “did not accurately reflect that they were in prison.” 

The inspector general’s office for the Social Security Administration is now looking into the problem as part of its broader audit on stimulus spending. The Social Security Administration acknowledged the glitch following a report that nearly two-dozen inmates in Massachusetts had wrongly received the $250 stimulus checks. 

Even before the agency disclosed that the problem was more widespread, the discovery prompted complaints from Republicans critical of the $787 billion stimulus and the way it has been managed.   End Excerpt.

But in all seriousness…this is the same government who is behind paying auto dealerships in cash for clunkers, the same administration that is pressuring religious organizations that they have a ‘moral duty’ to pay for health care, but apparently has no qualms when it comes to morals on abortion.  The same government who currently runs bankrupt Fannie Mae, your atrocious DMV, wants upwards of $9 trillion in new debt.  Now they are sending stimulus checks to inmates.

And you trust them to run a national healthcare system?
