Federal Stimulus Checks Were Sent To 4000 Convicts

From the "Our Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves" file:

While our headline might be dancing on the fine line of truth, the article that follows from the Boston Herald reveals that 1700 or so of the check receiving convicts should not be $250.00 "richer". The other 2200 or so were "legally entitled" to the checks, because they were on SSI before they went to jail.

Well, drop us in a vat of government checks and call us stimulated.

Here's the story:

One day after the Herald reported some surprised Bay State inmates - including murderers and rapists - were cashing in $250 stimulus checks, federal officials revealed the same behind-bars bonus was mailed to nearly 4,000 cons nationwide.

A federal watchdog is now probing how the cons were cut the checks. The same cash also may have been sent to fugitive felons, people kicked out of the country and even individuals now deceased.

It’s all part of the massive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 - and what is becoming an accounting nightmare for red-faced feds.

2009 Stimulus Check: Don't Wait By the Mailbox

The rumors of a 2009 Stimulus Check are running rampant and scam websites are popping up daily here in WWWeb land. So, as a public service to our loyal readers, we will give you the facts, and nothing but the facts (or as close to the truth as we can find. Okay, we will just pass along some rumors).

Are you employed and struggling to make ends meet?

No stimulus check for you...although we have heard rumors of a small tax cut. $13 a week is being thrown around.

Are you retired, on SSI?

We are getting conflicting reports here, but it seems you might get one. $500 is the rumor.

Do you still make plenty of money or own a small business or your corporation isn't really important to the economy?

Bend Over

Didn't get a check in 2008 because you didn't file taxes in 2007 because you are hiding from the Feds?

You can still get your 2008 Stimulus Check! Go for it!!

Do you run a large corporation that is deemed important to the economy or you are a large contributor to the folks in Washington D.C.?

How much do you need? Help is on the way.

As for us...we gave up on being stimulated a long time ago.
