Dead People Get Stimulus Checks

This week, thousands of people are getting stimulus checks in the mail. The problem is that a lot of them are dead.  .... The Social Security Administration, which sent out 52 million checks, says that 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. The strange thing is, some of the checks were made out to people -- like Romonini -- who were never even part of the Social Security system.

You know... this really makes me want to put the government in charge of my health care.  If they can stimulate the dead, imagine what they can do for the sick.
