It’s bad enough that the Federal government pays farmers not to grow crops, but now they are sending checks to dead farmers:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture reportedly distributed $1.1 billion to estates or companies of deceased farmers from 1999 to 2005.The USDA routinely neglected to conduct required reviews to make sure payments were properly disbursed, The Washington Post reported Monday.Citing a government report, the newspaper said the Government Accountability Office examined 181 cases from the seven-year period and found that officials approved payments without any review in 40 percent of the cases.
So, where did the money go? Are they goning to get it back? I think you know they won’t.
