Do Not Pay List

Its about time. After decades of sending goverment checks to dead citizens President Obama is finally doing something about it. Making a national do not pay list. About 20,000 seperate payments with a total of 182 million were sent to dead people in the last 3 years. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services made 65 billion (that's billion) in erroneous payments in fiscal year 2009.

There are other things on the do not pay list also like paying people who are in prison, etc.

Its about time someone did something about this absolute waste of my (read taxpayer) money. They (the crooks, I mean politicans) all pay lip service to curtailing fraud but nothing ever happens. Obama is the first president to actually do something real about it. You go O.
