   I’ll be at Coburn’s town hall later this afternoon…should be interesting to hear what he has to say and the questions asked…If I get a chance I’ll be asking him why OK is spending 3.1 billion a year on care for illegal aliens who aren’t even supposed to be in the country let alone stealing from the American taxpayers…

   These are the Ya Ya’s that want to counsel us on end of life procedures, health care and what treatments to receive from our Doctor? Why, what could go wrong?

   It’s not clear if the cons have already spent the money in the commissary or elsewhere, however.

   ok, that made me laugh. ah, DUH!

   The government doesn’t have the foggest idea on how to run anything. Look at any program they come up with, then look at the corruption that comes out of it.Stupid is as stupid does!

   I’m gonna guess “elsewhere”.

   My confidence in our government is starting to slip. Is it possible for the confidence level to fall below zero?

    the U.S. Social Security Administration is asking at least 14 of the Bay State prisoners to return the cash.

    If not, what are they going to do? Put them in jail?

    They were stupid enough to send them cash. The convicts should get to spend it. My beef is with the criminals in DC.

    Just for the record. The Bay State is this stupid blue wasteland called Massachusetts. Fat Teddy would have been all for giving the criminals the money in the first place. And Kerry the ghost was for it, before he was against it.

    These liberal morons scream bloody murder when the Pentagon spends $500 for a hammer or $2000 for a coffee maker. That’s corruption and mismanagement!

    But it’s a “slight oversight in the disbursment of funds to Incarcerated-Americans” when the liberals spend money unwisely.

    *******************
    Liberal Dictionary.

    The Military – a huge hole into which money for otherwise grand socialist programs is wasted. Full of nothing but fraud, corruption, and waste.

    Social Security – a grand socialist program that is more than adequate to serve the needs of the people. Not one credible instance of fraud or waste has ever been proven.

    Medicare, Welfare, etc. – see Social Security.

    vicki - I doubt Coburn would run for president although if he does, I’ll vote for him in a heartbeat. He’s the best thing the Republican’s and/or conservatives have going for them right now.

    By the way, do you know of any republicans who have received a stimulus check? I don’t know of any.

    Bingo!

    Now the gov’t has given the paper hangers a copy of their stimulus checks! I’m sure these fine, upstanding, Incarcerated-Americans would never use this information for anything illegal once they get out.

    Geez!

    How about “cash for new politicians?”

    Take your old, worn, corrupt, money wasting, hot air producing (think global warming!) incumbent, and get a few bucks to trade him in for a new model.

    The only thing that will stop this slide is a revolt. I am for a peaceful but serious variety like refusing to pay taxes on the grounds that taking my money just to give it away to someone else is slavery. I am getting nothing of value for my money therefore it is simply confiscating property from me to give to someone else. The Dems are still on the wrong side of civil rights- their followers are just too stupid to realize it.

    I do not doubt that at all. For more than 2 years after my mother-in-law’s passing we were returning her SS checks. Then we had to return her Cost of Living Adjustment check. After Social Security realized she was dead they sent her a letter asking for their money.

    We sent in a change of address:

    1212 N. Center St
    Mesa, AZ

    It is the Mesa Cemetery
