Stimulus check did ya get yours?
« on: August 25, 2009, 04:43:29 PM »
If not then you're prolly not in jail!

Seems the government sent over 400,000.00 in stimulus checks to inmates in jails! Yep !  >:(

$1700 a piece for jailbirds, and heres the kicker, it was a mistake for the most part but they already spent the bucks!

wondering if they sent in a contribution to the obama relection fund?

The article I read said the government mistakenly spent $425,000 sending 1700 inmates stimulus checks, not $1700 to each inmate. That's $250 to each inmate just like I received.  But it is still another STUPID mistake by the government.

Hey, what would a government program be without a little waste, fraud, or abuse?

I didn't get my check, but the last time I looked at my income taxes I noted that I seem to be paying for other people's stimulus checks. (And I resent that deeply.)

You might get a job with SS explaining why we aren't getting a cost of living raise for the next two years.  ;D You could tell 'em it's cause SS has to give money to convicts.  ;D ;D

Don't forget the illegal aliens.  Can't have them suffering from this depression/recession or whatever they are calling it these days.
