3900 Stimulus Checks Sent to Prison Inmates

From the FOREVER GREAT, INCOMPARABLE Uppity Woman:

No kidding. You can’t make this shit up.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal government sent about 3,900 economic stimulus payments of $250 each this spring to people who were in no position to use the money to help stimulate the economy: prison inmates.

In addition to paying for the food, lodging and weight room for some of Americas most vile subhumans, you will be happy to know you helped them out with stimulus checks so that they can purchase their cigarettes and drugs and keep that old prison economy running smoothly.

Prison inmates are generally ineligible for federal benefits. However, 2,200 of the inmates who received checks got to keep them because, under the law, they were eligible, said Mark Lassiter, a spokesman for the Social Security Administration. They were eligible because they weren’t incarcerated in any one of the three months before the recovery package was enacted.

“The law specified that any beneficiary eligible for a Social Security benefit during one of those months was eligible for the recovery payment,” Lassiter said.

The other 1,700 checks? That was a mistake.

This means that any murderer or pervert child molester who wasn’t incarcerated three months prior got a check from you in addition to the travesty that we let him live.

Hey, I wonder if Bernie Madoff got one?

I for one feel much better knowing that these same folks will soon be in charge of my health care , especially the data base that contains every detail about my life and health, don’t you?
