Hey, how’s that porkulus working out?

It’s going to dead people:

"Millions of Americans on Social Security are receiving $250 checks as part of the president’s stimulus plan — including an Anne Arundel woman who’s dead.

The woman’s son, 83-year-old James Hagner, said his mother has been dead for more than 40 years.

That didn’t stop her from getting a stimulus check though.

“It shocked me and I laughed all at the same time and I told her how in the world could they ever do this?” Hagner said. “I don’t even expect to get one for myself and I get one for my mother from 43 years ago ‘Kind of strange right’ Yes sir.”

Social Security representatives said there is a good explanation. Of the about 52 million checks that have been mailed out, about 10,000 of those have been sent to people who are deceased.

The agency blames the error on the strict mid-June deadline of mailing out all of the checks, which didn’t leave officials with much time to clean up all of their records".

It’s not going to the neediest areas:

"The billions in transportation stimulus dollars that President Barack Obama promoted as a way to create jobs shortchange counties that need the work the most, an Associated Press analysis has found.

The AP’s review of more than 5,500 planned transportation projects nationwide is the most complete picture available of where states plan to spend the first wave of highway money. It reveals that states are planning to spend 50 percent more per person in areas with the lowest unemployment than in communities with the highest. The Transportation Department said it will attempt to replicate the AP’s analysis as it continues pressing states to dole out money fairly.

One result among many: Elk County, Pa., isn’t receiving any road money despite its 13.8 percent unemployment rate. Yet the military and college community of Riley County, Kan., with 3.4 percent unemployment, will benefit from about $56 million to build a highway, improve an intersection and restore a historic farmhouse".

The jobs estimates are shady.

And states can’t afford the administrative costs of it.

But hey, cheer up: The stimulus package is helping Americans buy…scooters!

Imagine if the reporters now blowing the whistle about the generational theft act’s shortcomings had been as vigilant about policing the White House claims before it was rammed down our throats…
