-Dead People Get Stimulus Checks

Our inefficient and ineffectual government headed by an inefficient and ineffectual administration that pushed through a pointless spending bill can't even get its own agenda right. Apparently the government wasted a ton of money sending "stimulus" checks to dead people.

The government has dead people filed as alive. What else do they have screwed up in their system?

From Fox News:

Thousands of Americans are receiving federal stimulus checks in the mail, this week. Only problem: many of them are deceased.

Recently, a Long Island, New York woman was shocked when she checked the mail and received a letter from the U.S. Treasury -- but it wasn't for her.

Antoniette Santopadre of Valley Stream was expecting a $250 stimulus check. But when her son finally opened it, they saw that the check was made out to her father, Romolo Romonini, who died in Italy 34 years ago.

Romonini was a U.S. citizen when he left for Italy in 1933, but only returned to the U.S. for a seven-month visit in 1969.

The Santopadres are not alone. The Social Security Administration, which sent out 52 million checks, said some of those checks mistakenly went to dead people because the agency had no record of their death. That amounts to between 8,000 and 10,000 checks for millions of dollars.

The feds blame a rushed schedule, because all the checks have to be cut by June. But strangely, some of the checks were made out to people -- like Romonini -- who were never even part of the Social Security system.

If they aren't prepared to figure it out and get it right then they have no business pushing it through. It's common sense.

Here's another example of how your tax dollars are being wasted because of a corrupt Congress.



Think of what those $150 million dollars could have been spent on instead. Way to clean up D.C. Nancy.

-Mother's Day Far Left Loon Style

Actress Cynthia Nixon wanted to wish mothers everywhere a happy mother's day. She decided to honor the occasion by promoting donations to Planned Parenthood abortion centers.

I am Cynthia Nixon. I am an actor, an activist, a mom, a daughter. But today, I am writing to you about motherhood, on behalf of Planned Parenthood and the many people they serve.

The truth is, in my book, there is no organization that supports motherhood more than Planned Parenthood..That's why I'm honoring the moms I know with a gift to Planned Parenthood today.

It's not easy to be a mother these days. Believe me, I know I'm lucky — I've had help and support — including the amazing, strong woman who blazed her own path to raise me as an independent, bold woman.

That's what Planned Parenthood is all about, too — providing the reproductive health care, education, and advocacy that help women everywhere to be healthy and to thrive. And right now — with more and more women seeking care from Planned Parenthood affiliate health centers — we need to do all we can to support them.

To me, it just makes sense: honor the courageous mothers who are raising kids, often in difficult situations these days, with a gift to the courageous organization that helps so many women.

As Mother's Day approaches, I am so grateful for the opportunity to make a difference and hope you'll join me.

This Mother's Day, you can make your gift in honor of someone you love. And the fine folks at Planned Parenthood will send that special person a special card saying you've chosen to make a gift to Planned Parenthood Federation of America in her or his name.

You'll be making a gift to millions of mothers — and to a generation of daughters and sons. What a profound way to mark this day.

Here's just a sample of what kind of action this company condones. Lila Rose, a UCLA student, recently went undercover posing as a 13 year old girl who was impregnated by her 31 year old boyfriend. What unfolds is pretty despicable.

-Too little, too late for Barack.

President Barack Obama, called our current debt "unsustainable" and that we cannot keep borrowing from other countries. Are you kidding me? This is coming from the man who pushed and signed a 700 billion dollar spending bill that was predominately earmarks or unnecessary projects.

“We can’t keep on just borrowing from China,” Obama said at a town-hall meeting in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, outside Albuquerque. “We have to pay interest on that debt, and that means we are mortgaging our children’s future with more and more debt.”

This just blows my mind. What is he thinking? Why was he okay with all that spending, that he said would create jobs, when in fact we're losing over 500,000 a month? This is what the majority of Republicans have been saying the whole time: this incredible debt will drive up interest rates and inflation rates. Now Obama gets it apparently. Someone needs to break it to him that it's too little, too late.

-You're paying for Chinese hooker training!

Here's an excellent use of your taxpayer dollars: the government is paying 2.6 million dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job. And you don't even get the benefits as they live in China. Shame.

We feel it necessary to pay for this but Obama decided to cut military spending such as paying for new F-22 Raptors?

The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAA), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will pay $2.6 million in U.S. tax dollars to train Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly on the job. Dr. Xiaoming Li, the researcher conducting the program, is director of the Prevention Research Center at Wayne State University School of Medicine in Detroit. The researcher outlined three components of the intervention program in the abstract for the project:

“(1) gatekeeper (pimps) training with a focus on changing or enhancing the protective social norms and policy/practice at the establishment level; (2) FSW (female sex workers) training with a focus on the acquisition of communication skills (negotiating, limit setting) and behavioral skills (e.g., condom use skills, consistent condom use); and (3) semi-annual boosters to reinforce both social norms within establishments and individual skills,”

Our government is so corrupt and inefficient and yet we want to hand over the reigns of just about every industry to these incapable individuals.


"C'mon in ladies! I mean, we paid for it."

-A small victory for the first amendment

Finally some good news. The first amendment was upheld today in the case of a public high school teacher preaching against religion in a public high school. If you want to keep God and religion out of schools, we should keep atheist philosophies out as well wouldn't that make sense? In this case, the courts got it right saying that showing hostility towards Christians and promoting "irreligion over religion" is a violation of the first amendment.

This is shameless indoctrination of young kids. This is not a college class, this is a taxpayer funded public high school with 14-18 year old kids.

-Bill O'Reilly must hate gay people

Here's a great example of liberal ignorance. David Shuster filled in on Hardball last night and took a Bill O'Reilly statement out of context and then made himself sound like an idiot.

-Now let me tell YOU a thing or two about marketing...

Marketer-in-Chief Barack Obama and his auto-industry task for has deemed Chrysler unworthy of advertising dollars. The executives at Chrysler who admitted have done an awful job in bankrupting the company, are being superseded by an executive who has essentially bankrupted the country. Things are looking up in Chryslerland. Good luck to GM when they want to try to make decisions about their company.

Things like this are what happens when you hand over nearly fifty percent of your company to a growing, irresponsible government headed by an irresponsible and manipulative leader.

Chrysler wanted to spend $134 million in advertising over the nine weeks it's expected to be in bankruptcy -- the U.S. Treasury's auto-industry task force gave it half that.

So if GM, which is wrestling with the possibility of a Chapter 11 filing itself, is wondering how much influence the task force will have over marketing, the answer is: plenty. However, transcripts from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Southern District of New York, where the Chrysler case is being heard, proved for the first time that the task force at least understands that advertising is a necessary expense -- even if it doesn't think Chrysler needs $134 million for nine weeks of car ads.

I had no idea that Barack Obama knew so much about marketing! Hm. Must have learned it while community organizing.

-Garofalo Embarrasses Herself

If I were a liberal, I would be embarrassed to say Janeane Garofalo shared my ideology.



There were people of all colors and of all political affiliations there Janeane. Maybe they weren't protesting spending the last eight years because they recognized that we were fighting two wars, and that Bush's spending was essentially one third of what Obama has pushed through, with no way to make it up in time for our children to not have to sell their souls to Big Government. And for the record "Whatcha talkin' 'bout Willis" is the best sign of racism at the tea parties that she could think of? Give me a break, and lighten up. For the very large majority of these protesters, it's not about Obama's skin color. It's about the frightening prospect of a huge government and a enormous debt that is being built up for the generations to come.

The sad part for Janeane is that she has a lot more notoriety from her hate speech about "rednecks" than for any "entertaining" she has ever attempted to do.


Poor thing...

-Obama's Rampant, Irresponsible Spending

According to Barack Obama's new federal budget, the government will have to borrow fifty cents for every dollar it spends. An easier way to represent this is to say that you are going to spend a total of $200,000 next year, including mortgage car payments loans etc. What the government is doing is like if you put $100,000 dollars of worth of those payments on your Visa. Then, to top it off, there really is no way for them to pay it back anytime soon, even if they raise taxes to unprecedented levels.

The unprecedented deficit figures flow from the deep recession, the Wall Street bailout and the cost of President Barack Obama's economic stimulus bill - as well as a seemingly embedded structural imbalance between what the government spends and what it takes in.

The government does not know how to make money with its poor business structure. All it knows is taxing the "rich" who provide jobs, and spending, often to help those who are unwilling to help themselves and have come to expect handouts.

This shows ZERO fiscal responsibility and so do the excuses this administration makes.

"The deficits ... are driven in large part by the economic crisis inherited by this administration," said budget director Peter Orszag.

When are they going to accept responsibility for this spending? Do they not realize they are spending triple what Bush spent? The concept of Obama having to cover for Bush's spending by SPENDING MORE makes no sense, and the administration has really never been able to justify it with a straight answer.

If you find yourself $10,000 dollars in debt, you cut your spending, do you not? It wouldn't make sense for you to add another $20,000 in debt the next year.

Keep in mind that what the administration is doing act like they are fiscally responsible is to cut defense spending and military funding. Great idea when we are fighting two wars, we likely have another on our hands, and our national security is at risk from radicals.

It is only going to get worse, with Barack Obama pushing his government regulated and backed health care plan that will likely cost over a trillion dollars and will destroy a private sector of the economy.
