Stop with the new laws & regulations!

Start enforcing what we have on the books and for crap's sake START VERIFYING WHERE OUR MONEY IS GOING...:

News Headlines

Nearly 1,300 prison inmates wrongly received more than $9 million in tax credits for homebuyers despite being locked up when they claimed they bought a home, a government investigator reported Wednesday.

The investigator said 241 of the inmates were serving life sentences.

In all, more than 14,100 taxpayers wrongly received at least $26.7 million in tax credits that were meant to boost the nation's slumping housing markets, said the report by J. Russell George, the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration.

Maybe if I were in jail, I'd get to closing on time so that I qualify for my tax credit.

By not enforcing existing laws nor verifying where the money is going, the Government can justify new legislation and the associated tax increases to pay for it and cover "budget shortfalls". It's just how they roll.

Can't the Government see that.

So: Somebody tell me, how much time this adds to their sentences.I mean the non-lifers.
