Read the report from CNSNews below:
(CNSNews.com) – New York and Massachusetts are administering food stamps to 2,000 dead people, according to Sen. Tom Coburn’s (R-Okla.) catalog of government waste.
The 2012 Waste Book, released earlier this week, documents $4.5 billion in waste in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps.
Among his findings, Coburn said that, “The USDA Inspector General found roughly 2,000 dead people are still receiving food stamps in New York and Massachusetts combined.”
Obummer has failed miserbly at everything he has attempted. Lots of wasted money, its funny though, they can find funds to feed the dead but cant help those that are living and breathing. Another food for vote scam, the dead can tell no lies.
Cradle to grave Nanny State!
Yep
and working people taxed up the waazoo
Ironically, they are still voting
SMART rea f n smart!
our tax dollars hard at work, sheez?!@**
I would like to know how I get stuff when I am dead, cause I ain’t getting it now.
Another example of govt being too big and inefficient. Wasteful.
Somebody (s) needs to loose their jobs over this crap !!! NOW…not 4 to 6 weeks later !!!
Probably all dead relatives of obama
So who cashed those checks, plosi or reid?
And MSNBC reports Fred Thompson died in 2007. Does Fred qualify for food stamps because of MSNBC ?
Wm. Hayes, then MSNBC must be wrong for once.
LOL…They sent voter I.D. cards also.
and the pets are voteing also.

if the govt did not administer the program , i bet the fraud would be gone$
Come on!! Start regulating what is going on!!!! Show and validate ID for any Government funding!! It is OUR tax dollars!! I am SICK and TIRED of how our Government just doesn’t seem to take action!! I’m praying things will turn around, but if not, I am seriously going to be looking closer at 3rd party candidates for 2016. I just can’t do it this year. Obama IS NOT the man for the job and I certainly do NOT want to give him my vote!!! Praying for our Country!!!!!!!
And They Vote!
heck there are more people dead people voting democratic
Wow! You can tell it’s an election year, those numbers are LOW…..lol
data doesn’t lie. check this out…nice huh? this is the latest stats from here: http://www.statisticbrain.com/welfare-statistics/
this is very sad news and facts on the status of our welfare nation. 46.5% of population on welfare stays on for more than 2 years. there are 40 states where welfare pays more than at least $8/hr jobs. this is similar to province of quebec (lived/worked there for 5 yrs) where it pays to not work and the standard of living is lower than other developed countries while businesses flee to other regions to drive growth. if a person happen to live in 1 of the 9 states that “pays” more than the average teacher salary, there’s no incentive to work, and there’s no incentive for teachers to teach if they make less than welfare pay. the median household income in america is $45k/year. the average teacher’s salary is $44k/year. this means in 9 states you can be on welfare and bring home the median income.
i did not realize that we had that many states in this condition. this is very enlightening.
note: this is only 1 of 23 programs that constitute the $1.3 trillion in welfare spending. there are 23 total welfare programs in all, and the $1.3 trillion is the highest spending line item in the federal budget in fiscal 2011 (ending sep. 30, 2011) which just released the congressional service report.

Total Number of U.S. States where Welfare pays more than an $8 per hour job = 40
Number of U.S. States where Welfare pays more than a $12 per hour job = 7
Number of U.S. States where Welfare pays more than the average salary of a U.S. Teacher = 9 (avg U.S. teach makes $44k/yr)
guess we need to add or subtract 2000 enrollees to the numbers above
I hope they’re all registered to vote early and often
Democrats sure like the support of dead folks and giving them benefits. Our government likes to throw our money away.
yes and now the mighty pen sign the papers you do not have to work at any thing to get welfare. geeesss
