Did you know the Federal Government is paying dead people?

Yes, it true. for the past three years, the Feds have been sending benefit checks to 20,000 people that are no longer living. the cost? $180 million dollars to date. to say this is ridiculous is an understatement. Question: now that this blunder has been uncovered, do you think the Feds should make the recepients of the $180 million dollar checks make restitution? after all, this is taxpayers money.
