How zombies will save the economy
Been playing those zombie video games? You may need those skills. it seems that the Obama Administration is planning on jump starting the economy with zombie stimulus;
The payments, which were part of last year’s massive economic recovery package, were meant to increase consumer spending to help stimulate the economy.
But about $18 million went to nearly 72,000 people who were dead, according to the report by the Social Security Administration’s inspector general. The report estimates that a little more than half of those payments were returned.
When the undead rise around Halloween we’ll all be in high clover. But, wait, the stimulus payments which were supposed to be shepherded by Sheriff Joe Bite-Me, the smartest man on the planet, also found their way to prisoners;
An additional $4.3 million went to more than 17,000 prison inmates, the report said. Most of the inmates, it turns out, were eligible to get the payments because they were newly incarcerated and had been receiving Social Security before they were locked up.
Wait, wait, wait. We locked up 17,000 retirees?
In all, the $250 payments were sent to about 52 million people who receive either Social Security or Supplemental Security Income, at a cost of about $13 billion.
Oh, I see, 17,000 people who we were supporting with SSI payments had nothing to do because they didn’t have jobs got themselves locked up within a three month period. Well, that makes perfect sense.
Who am I to question the intelligence of Joe Biden?

Well that makes sense. It wouldn’t be the fist time the dead have voted in an election, might as well have something for their trouble.
Anyone that can a fog a mirror has a 90% or better chance of winning an intelligence contest v. “no one will mess with” Joe Bite-me.
Regrettably the other 10% still qualify to vote.
So, that I am a 70 year old veteran of 4 years non-combat service, and not being on the dole, with the Social Security that I earned, (all $734.00 a month), means that a dead guy or a jailbird is more deserving than I? I suspected as much, but now I can see it more clearly. Shit, an illegal Meskin gets more from gummint than I do. I have to obey the law.
Any asshole, (Joe comes to mind), who thinks that government is good for us is insane.

That damn Biden. When he was addressing those envelopes and licking the stamps, why didn’t he check to see if the intended recepients were still alive? The republicans would never make that kind of mistake. Yeah, let’s blame Biden – we can may more political hay if we blame it on him instead of an out-of-date database. Instead of debating whether the stimulus was needed or helped the economy, let’s blame it on Biden. Better yet, let’s use the fact of an obsolete database as proof that government is the problem, not the solution. After, we never encounter computer errors anywhere else, do we? Damn Biden!
Glad to see you’re finally coming around, Joe.
