Yet another fine example of why the federal government should be involved in as little as possible.

Thousands of Americans are receiving federal stimulus checks in the mail, this week. Only problem: many of them are deceased.
…
The Social Security Administration, which sent out 52 million checks, said 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. But strangely, some of the checks were made out to people — like Romonini — who were never even part of the Social Security system.

More millions of our tax dollars wasted on inefficiency and incompetence. If they can’t even figure out whether people are dead or not, why would we want them involved in making our healthcare decisions for us?
