Money Well Spent, Right?

Hello My Dear Friends! It seems like you can't turn on the television or radio without being bombarded by political ads telling us how much better things will be if you vote for this guy, or vote against that guy. It is, of course, all a bunch of bullcheese. So, while you're listening to incumbent lawmakers tell you what a great job they've been doing, I'd like you to stop and think about this. A newly released report from the GAO tells us that, over the past 3 years, the Government has spent $3.1 Billion dollars on "administrative leave" costs. That would be you and me paying for government workers to stay home. Now, the bulk of these employees are not staying home because they're ill. No. They're staying home because they've misbehaved. The government says they are sent home while investigations into misconduct are done. 57,000 employees were home for one to three months. 263 workers were off for the entire three years of the study. Those 263 workers, alone, collected $31 million bucks! Our tax dollars in action! Does that make you mad? Well, sit back and ponder this: Jakob Denzinger was a guard at Auschwitz. He slipped into America, set up camp in Akron, Ohio, and was living the American Dream until 1989. That's when the Nazi hunters found him. Before he could be tried, he hopped a plane back to Germany, where he lives pretty well, compliments of you and me. Yup. Denzinger continues to collect Social Security, to the tune of $1500 a month. He's not alone. At least 38 of 66 Nazis tossed out of our country continued to collect their full Social Security benefits. Apparently being a Nazi war criminal does not exclude you from collecting US Government benefits! The government, not surprisingly, refuses to give the exact numbers but it's clearly in the millions of dollars. You just can't make this stuff up!
