Obama Administration reaches out to key constituency

Without whom they’d not be in office now:

Dead Woman Gets Federal Stimulus Check
Son Wants To Keep Check As Souvenir


ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY—Millions of Americans on Social Security are receiving $250 checks as part of the president’s stimulus plan—including an Anne Arundel woman who died more than 40 years ago.

The woman’s son, 83-year-old James Hagner, said he got the surprise when he checked his mailbox late last week.

“It shocked me and I laughed all at the same time,” Hagner said. “I don’t even expect to get one my own self, and I get one for my mother for 43 years ago?”


Hey, let’s have these same folks who send checks to dead people run our economy and our health care system too!

Hat Tip: Instapundit

UPDATE below the fold

And who shows up to distract from a payoff to the dead, but one of the SAB dead (those who have vowed to depart, and thus are treated as the not so dearly departed).

Corpses of a feather!
